I wonder how many millions of years need to pass before opposable thumbs come to Somalia.

if there is one country on the planet that we should invade using the prextexts of why we invaded Iraq, its this festering cancer of somalia.

Haven for islamic terrorists? Check
Brutal human rights violation taking place daily? Check
Al Qaeda links? Check
Center of global drug distribution & piracy? Check

So who cares what happens there? Feel bad for the folks on the ground but at the same time I can think of about a million better uses of any aid money going to that pustule of a country.

Militant Islamist fighters last week used vehicles mounted with loudspeakers to announce the bizarre ruling across the regions of the war-torn country it controls. he extremist group has offered no official explanation for the ban on the triangular snacks, which are commonly cooked up and served across the Horn of Africa. But it is believed the organisation took offence at the three-sided savouries' supposed resemblance to symbol of the Christian Holy Trinity. Kenya's Daily Nation newspaper on Tuesday reported that residents of the Somali town of Afgoye sasha grey, 20 miles south of the capital Mogadishu, had confirmed the samosa ban had been imposed. The fried snacks, usually filled with spicy meat or vegetables, have been served for centuries in the East African country. The UN last week declared a famine in two parts of the country and warned millions face death from starvation. Al-Shabaab had previously suggested it would allow foreign agencies to bring in vital food aid to prevent its people from dying. But on Friday the group denied the famine even existed and accused Western governments of inventing the crisis as a propaganda tool.

People around the world that hate America do not hate us because of our freedom, regardless of the bullshit the government teaches us. They hate us because of our imperialistic, monetary driven foreign policy that deprives them of freedom. We constantly invade harmless third world countries in the heat of some perceived threat to our security, only to find several years later and billions (or trillions) of dollars wasted that it was a mistake. All the while, our multinational corporations gain by taking that nation's resources for their own personal use and profit. The military has become a tool of the elite to pull the strings of unstable foreign governments and to control the world's resources. It's doesn't take extreme intelligence to see this when examples abound every virtually every month at some point in the news. RIO Anybody who can't see this is truly blind to the corruption that occurs in our political system..
