Description

The gloves are off in this debate on the role of the West in general and America in particular in post-colonial Africa. Specifically, how should we react to the Rhodesian government's Unilateral Declaration of Independence? CCO: "Would you please allow me to proceed without interruption as I allowed you? ... The [United Nations] Security Council has decided certain actions which you know of. Are you in favor of your country carrying out its obligations?" WFB: "Absolutely not, under those circumstances where the United Nations is clearly acting illegally and against the best interests of the United States."
