#2 Yeah yeah. We'll be right over after we get the spark plugs properly gapped on the Blackhawks.

#3 UN heli-tech: "Where are those Blackhawk spark plugs I need to gap?"

Gorb: "You can't see them until you get a left-handed smoke shifter to clear the air."

#4 Maybe the world is not ignoring Somilia; maybe no one cares.

#7 When you show your love by dragging the bodies, of those sent to bring order and feed you, through your dirty streets, it communicates your real feelings. They're reciprocated. Yep, you danced, you celebrated. Just like that incredible night of sex was fantastic, only to find out a couple weeks later you have AIDS. Congratulations.

#9 "I am not asking outside countries to become active for moral or altruistic reasons. They have a clearly mandated responsibility to become involved in a country where there are widespread violations of human rights and humanitarian law."

Wonder if surgically removing the sense of irony is a requirement for being an envoy?

#13 #10 Quit feeding them and the problem solves itself. Either they wise up or Darwin takes over.

Problem with that option is somalis ending up in droves in immigration-open western countries, to become demanding US cab drivers, violent Youths (RB had an article a while back about somalis juves gangs in the Lakes area IIRC), or the gangrapists of scandinavian blondes.

Otherwise, I don't think the world ignores somalia, I mean, the USA have been backing discretly but effectively Aethopia, and are probably still doing so in an extent, works fine with me.

#15 Can we move the UN HQ there? I'd consider that to be stopping ignoring Somalia. Imagine how much better it will be from the aura of august individuals as those to be found in the UN.

After the UNcrats are all killed and eaten, we'll have a party.
