re: #415 jamesfirecat

Compared to the cost of a war, and building Somalia into a nation state?

F*** YES!

Who said anything about invading Somalia and attempting to build an impossible tribal state? I sure didn’t.

This isn’t a state in any real sense of the word. It is a territory ruled by a mishmash of warlords. We should go after them just as we do with the Taliban in Pakistan and elsewhere when we know where they are.
