Leave the Somalis alone- they like killing each other

"Somalia is relevant to the Somalis. Who have to face decades of incessant meddling by foreigners. Lately, Bush Halliburton & Co have basically decided that any 'government' is acceptable whether it be warlords, killers, traitors to rule Somalia. They have just installed a puppet president. Ethiopians are used as cannon. Everything is done under the 'war on terror' there is no policy. Whatsoever. "

Thanks for that contribution to global debate. Its always nice when people don't let illiteracy and illogicality prevent them from speaking out! And as if you needed a reminder, nothing is evil in the world until America has something to do with it. Our esteemed commentator says "Bush Halliburton & Co have basically decided that any 'government' is acceptable whether it be warlords, killers, traitors to rule Somalia". Would he prefer what Somalia had before, ie no government of any kind? If BushalliburtonCo have any sense, they will have come to the conclusion that virtually any government at all would be a step up from slow-bleed communal suicide by warlord. And the fact that our contributor, along with all the lefties in Britain, would prefer bloody internicine anarchy to a government that America had anything at all to do with tells us a lot about what we confront in the world. This is not just a lack of logic people. This is an absence of any genuine moral base. People and their welfare are nothing. Only the embarrassment and defeat of America is worth pursuing.

The US intervened unilaterally against Serbia on behalf of Muslim Albanians in Kosovo under Bill Clinton. Thousands, possibly tens of thousands of Muslim lives were saved as a result. The US did not intervene in Algeria during its terrible GIA and GSPC insurgencies, and a hundred and fifty thousand people died. Which action was more moral? What would the public reaction have been amongst all the highly politicised Muslims in the west? Lets face it- the lefties and Muslims have no real interest in the outcomes for people in Iraq, Somalia or Algeria. Disgusting festering wars where thousands and thousands die at the hands of Muslims can go on for generations without these people deigning to comment. But as soon as the US special forces help out the Ethiopians in attempting to snuff out the war and bring back civil society, their wails and groans can be heard the length of the land.

I am totally sick of this grotesque excuse for a moral system. The universities and media outlets where this 'moral system' metastasizes need to be retaken by those with a genuine moral compass. Oh, and by the way, I bet you haven't been living in Mogadishu the last 20 years Anonymous. You're probably tucked up in Finsbury Park.
