#1 When has a UN embargo ever had an impact. How in-the-hell is it having an impact now?

#2 I'll call this as BS. The 'transitional government' will use the weapons to invade the relatively stable Somaliland and Puntland. Somalia was a UN creation and f**kup from the start. They seem determined to carry on f**king it up. Somalia is not quite that glowing example of UN stewardship Rwanda, but give them time.

#3 I think it's a great idea. Give everybody in Somalia at least two guns. Let them shoot each other up, get it out of their system, and then shoot any survivors for war crimes. Once the place is cleaned out, open a border with Mexico and fill the place with people who're willing to work for a living.

I agree with you Fred. Our arms embargo against Fidel Castro has certainly been effective.
