Somalia

Usually I am against war. However I realize generally we don't have a clue about what is really going on. I grudgingly accept the reasons that we invaded Iraq and then Afganistan.

 People get angry at President Obama for what he's done or not done.   I don't think unless they are in his position they know what they'd do if they were in his shoes, because he has expert policy advisers.
I'm glad Saddam Hussein is gone and Osama bin Laden. I  just don't want to see troops killed or civilians.

If I WERE to think we should interfere in another country or just plain take it over,  it would be Somalia! I'm tired of reading of Somalians chasing their own people off their land,  stealing food that was meant for the starving there,  to make a profit by selling it,  kidnapping and pirating ships from all over the world.  The Al Shabbab group seems to be a band of heartless thugs. I don't want to even chance donating money to an organization that can't be reasonably certain they can distribute it safely.   I'd like to see armed 24/7 guards with guns. People are starving to death!  Others are tryiing to help!  I've read some terrible statistics about how much food is actually getting to the starving.

We have a huge Somali population here.  I can see why they had to flee their homeland.  It truly is a lawless, godless country.
