Common Dreams, The Last Colonial War: "The French thought that they were fighting the last battle of this kind. They had long ago conquered Algeria. They set up their farms and settlements in the most beautiful land in North Africa. And when the Algerians demanded independence, they called them 'terrorists' and they shot down their demonstrators and they tortured their guerrilla enemies and they murdered - in 'targeted killings' - their antagonists."
Sounds a bit like Israel/Palestine, hmm? [via Fares]
