Starving Somalis, huh. Hmm...I have an idea:
Why don’t we get alllll wee-wee’d up, and send our soldiers there to act as a weird combo of social worker/cop in a place where there are neither.
And then, owing to political sensitivities we’ll deny them AC130’s or tanks, because those look “nasty” and Give Us Bad Vibes.
Then we’ll expand the mission; we’ll start arresting important criminals there, making everyone there pissed as hell. And then maybe the ones not shooting at us are in fact stealing from us. Later, owing to multiculturalism, maybe it will turn out that many of our most important interpreters in our military are RELATED to the criminals there.
Then we’ll get a whole bunch of our soldiers killed, and EVERYONE there will hate us much, much more.
For going over there and giving them FOOD.

Why don’t they take all those ships that were going to take supplies to PALESTINE and instead take them to SOMALIA?
