Imagine a lion trying to dig a tunnel and live inside it or store up insects to eat. It’s a funny image, isn’t it? Also, imagine an ant roaring with all its might, trying to frighten all the animals in the forest and fighting an elephant or chasing an antelope. Even funnier!
If we can’t imagine such a thing, you need only have a look at the development of foreign policies, global military interventions and the War on Terror (WOT). The giant lions want the lion’s share, forgetting how to be a guiding guardian figure to the small ants.
Changes in the Middle East/North Africa region mean that there needs to be space at the discussion table and shared ownership not just for giants and ants, but for all the animals: tigers, hyenas, birds and fish, because the decisions made affect all of them.
Let us review honestly and bravely our policies and spend our money wisely, in bringing back the decency of life for everyone in the forest.
