#1 Another fine piece of UN idiocy. Hello! What does the article below talk about? If you don't stop the piracy, you're not going to stop the arms flow. These people have no concept of the same sense of decency and fair play the UN supposedly operates under. They're THUGS. Slapping them on the hand isn't going to work. The only way Somalia gets a decent government is if it's imposed on them. Their tribal loyalty and "personal honor" can't be overcome enough to form a legitimate government of a sovereign state. The only other viable option is Balkanization - give each tribe a piece of land, and enforce the borders for a generation or two.
