In 1991, Jean Baudrillard wrote three essays before, during and after the Gulf War with the titles; The Gulf War will not take place, The Gulf War is not really taking place and The Gulf War did not take place. While there is no dispute that the war took place, Baudrillard argued the was no war in real sense because the US was militarily superior than Iraq. The war as a whole was a non-war.
In the same vein, PointBlank would like to argue, albeit from a different angle, that the 2007 post-election violence never took place. How could the violence have taken place and yet hundreds of those who killed and maimed are still walking free?
