#1 I wonder if we have found a long-lost branch of the farm and garden machinery empire in Mohammed?

#2 The spin on this article is so bad that it is just a downright boring read. This is the same money scam that liberals always fall into. A region is a total cess pool and has been and will be for some time. Then when we go in to get rid of really bad guys and the cowardly handwringers say it is all our fault the place is a cesspool and demand we do nothing except throw billions of our tax dollars at the problem. But the money always goes to the guys who made the place a cess pool in the first place who use the money thrown at them to get stronger armies and kill more people.

#3 Good observation 2b, it's a cesspool. Ugly Somalia.

#4 Nah! This is your basic United Nations fuck up. They created the country which didn't exist prior to their involvement and most of the ex-country has defacto separated and is peaceful.

The fighting in Mog is over UN and other international goodies. International welfare + unintended consequences + the shining example of the Paleos who have kept this scam going for 60 years.

#5 That also phil_b, for sure. Yet somehow the ppl involved themselves cannot be otherwise entirely innocent by disposition(?).
