M6 Overthrowing A Tyrant In Mali

     The Cowboy rode his cougar through time back to 1991, Mali, West Africa. The specific city was Bamako. The Cowboy was there to avert a massacre. In Mali at the time, their was a dictator named  General Mousa Traoré. He was controlling and cruel. And he was about to slaughter over one hundred innocent protesters. 
      The cowboy arrived six blocks away from the location of the protest. He tied his cougar to a lamppost and ran towards the sounds. When he was one block away, he ran into an apartment building. He made his way to the roof a took out his new sniper rifle, an M24 with an 6X scope and a kickstand. He set it up on the railing and began searching for his target. He was looking for the military leader present. The Cowboy had to be quick.
     The cowboy then realized something. If he changed history here, and the protesters killed the soldiers, then they would be seen as the bad guys. He realized that even though what was about to happen was a horrible thing, that it was for the better. He let the protesters be slaughtered. It was a decision that would stay with him forever.  
     Four Months later: The Cowboy had overseen the peace negotiations, and made sure that the new leader was a good one. The malignant dictator General Mousa Traoré was overthrown by the good officers that remained in the military. The new government was a semi-presidential. The president was Amandou Toumani Toure, and his prime minister was Cisse Mariam Kaidama Sidibe.
     The Cowboy had learned in Mali that not everything had to be done violently, even though he preferred it that way. All that time he had kept his cougar at a local farm on the outskirts of Bamba. He retrieved it and scurried back through time back into his office. A cup of coffee was waiting for him on his desk, as well as a note from Arson Jagaba saying 'your welcome'.
