  Brilliant work, but are Ghanaian politicians ready to see the light to adopt this wisdom expressed by the author, instead of their narrow, shortsighted parochial interests? Yes, we can and MUST!

  Obviously you've read it. I have too. Now, let's see who else would claim here that they read it and found something, anything, enlightening up there.
  
  "Ooooh, t'is too long". "What's all this book long for?". That's the easy, lazy and dismissive tendencies that would apply to anything half intellectual or thoughtful by your random Ghanaian student, professor or your "honourable" politician.
  
  Gomito, let it be about soccer, politics, religion or some latest gossip about some so called "celebrity" then, sit back and watch the bedlam and boorish behaviour.
  Surely, you also hear the fighting words and gratuitous insults, don't you?

  Looking at US and Western European policies they never accept things, meaning socioeconomic systems that they will not be in position to exploit.
  Thus the turmoil in Eastern Europe in 1991 was a blessing for US and Western European countries.
  Through Michaël Gorbachev's Perestroika that dismantled the socialist socioeconomic system, they had cheap, educated and experienced human resource of Eastern Europe which labour they used to prop up their economy.
  Perestroika was not a universal adult suffrage, which is not different from the military coups in West Africa, or what is called the colour revolution.
  It was not just exchange of clothings in a peaceful manner, but violent overthrow of the socialist governments in Eastern Europe. The President of Romania Ceausescu and the wife where lynched and burned.
  In its wake the imperialists send their emissaries to Eastern European countries, not only to sell illicit drugs to their children, but as well turn them against each other, either one country against another or group of nations against each other.
  So, in that period Armenians and Azerbaijanis were turned against each other. Serbs and Russians were said to be wicked ethnic groups that must be exterminated by other Slavic ethnic groups, a case is the current war between Russia and Ukraine.
  Vladimir Ilich Lenin wrote that "Revolution is the Locomotive of Society".
  The emergence of a revolution Lenin stated is that the rulers can no more oppress the people with current corrupted order, the oppressed can no more be oppressed by the current corrupted order. So there is a call for a change of the socioeconomic system.
  Not a single European country has been left unaffected by a revolution, not even those which still maintain the monarchy.
  So was the revolt of the English, Spanish and Portuguese against their monarchies in London, Madrid and Lisbon that resulted in the establishment of various English and Latin countries in North and South America, of which the current United States of America was not left out.
  In 1957 Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah said that we prefer independence with all the dangers it entails to servitude in tranquility.
  The current military junta leader Captain Traore elaborated what make him overthrow the government in Ouagadougou and expel the French from his country.
  He said that at a point in time they surrounded the Jihadist, but their French commanders rather ordered them to lay down their arms, supplied the jihadist with arms, logistics and intelligence in their presence as they were tied up.
  They would have been eliminated if their French commanders don't see them as just tools to be used to further the expansion of Islam in West Africa.
  It is history that Tarabora in Pakistan was a base from which US from the presidency of Ronald Reagan armed the jihadists in Afghanistan against the Afghan and Soviet forces in that country.
  So, that intervention by NATO and their allies was not a Christian Crusade, but an Islamic jihad funded, armed and supplied intelligence by the "democratic" countries in the world.
  I was around in 2011 and no African country apart from South Africa questioned NATO Arab Spring. Even President John Evans Atta Mills told people who oppose that NETO military, not peaceful intervention that we must mind our own home matter.
  We were told in all that military intervention and coups that the west was spreading democracy through the force of arms, assassinations, murders and maimings.
  The matter is that US and her allies have got their interest to protect with all sorts of ruses.
  So there is nothing wrong when citizens of countries that are being subjugated by those oppressive policies of US and her allies said enough is enough and did what the U.S. herself did which brought about her independence.
  Logically, if the US is of the view that revolutions in those countries are not democratic, then they should have given themselves back to the British crown.
  But as it is now, let the locomotive of society be animated.
