#1 after our Blackhawk Down episode, I don't care if they level and pave Mog. Fuck those ungrateful qhat-chewing rustics. Take their pirates and feed them slowly to sharks. My sympathy level is below zero

#2 You said it Frank G; I will always lay the blame at the foot of Les Aspen and ultimately Bill Clinton (Where the 'buck stopped') for not rushing the 'required weapons and tactics' in to save our Rangers and Special Forces troops, in that valiant attempt to ward off a near city wide attempt to 'Get The Americans'! Mohamed Farrah Aidid should have been splattered that day, by a Hellfire missile for allowing his goons to drag our guys through the streets like that!

#3 The Ethiopians will stay in Somalia since there is NO exit from it for them : Ethiopia stands to lose the Ogaden area to Somalis if the present disorder continues. The Ethiopians' situation is what the US would be up against if Mexico blew up again in one of its periodic civil wars - no matter how repugnant the sides in that war, we would have to pick one to support and then build the hell out of our border.
