chinu. You said..."This is Bush's America. Not the America of JFK and Clinton when other nations looked upto America. So why should I like the America of today when Bush has lowered the prestige of the Americans in the world community?..... Don't talk so foolish...what did this do for American prestige around the world? Or how about JFK Cuba and the Bay of Pigs. What did that do for American prestige around the world. All American presidents screw up at times so cut the partisan crap. Here Clinton Orders 5,300 Troops to Somalia; Vows End in 6 Months ..."President Clinton Thursday ordered 5,300 new combat troops and an aircraft carrier to Somalia "to protect our troops and to complete our mission," and at the same time he announced that he would bring all American combat forces home by March 31."... ...."We face a choice," the president said. "Do we leave when the job gets tough or when the job is well done? Do we invite the return of mass suffering or do we leave in a way that gives the Somalis a decent chance to survive?" .... www-tech.mit.edu --------------------------------------- On October 3, 1993 Task Force Ranger raided the Olympic Hotel in Mogadishu to search for Aidid. This led to a seventeen-hour battle in which eighteen U.S. soldiers were killed and eighty-four were wounded. Bodies of dead American soldiers were dragged through the streets of Mogadishu, shown on international news reports. Hundreds of Somalis also died, although the official number has never been released. This was the longest, most bloody battle for U.S troops since the Vietnam War. On October 7 President Clinton responded by withdrawing U.S. troops from Somalia. The hunt for Aidid was abandoned, although U.S. representatives were sent to resume negotiations with clan leaders. novaonline.nvcc.edu
