BBM,

This guy is a true patriot :-)

With a million Mogadishus we lose the cream of generation, but no more Islamic Radicals (or any other kind). The kill ratio in Mogadishu was phenomenally one sided despite the apparant victory for the radicals (since the battle resulted in our departure).

To recap - we would lose 18 million, they would lose 1.2 billion. It might actually be a lot worse for them now - the differntial in firepower has increased dramatically.
