Subject: RE: BS: Is anybody watching Ivory Coast chaos?!?
Yeah, it isn't good vs bad, it's legally and democratically voted in vs. legally and democratically voted out.

Whereas in Libya, they are rebelling against their actual leader, in CI, they are just trying to get they guy voted in to be in actual power.

It isn't a *rebellion* in Ivory Coast. It's the guy who got voted out keeping the army, refusing to leave, and getting the army to massacre the people who voted him out.

Religion, actually, has really nothing to do with this one. Although some of the country is Christian and some Moslem, roughly one-third each, another third of the country is animist and doesn't believe in one god, or really any, they have spirits and ancestors and such. But it isn't the christians and animists against the moslem, it's the democratically elected against the one who was democratically voted out. But who has the army.
