"I would have brought in tanks and leveled that city. next question"

You STILL COULD, Shorty! Same City even!

Somalia is reverting to jihadist control... Sudan is in the grips of Islamic fundamentalists also.. with the ongoing genocide in Dafur as an object lesson.

PLENTY of places to go if you want to stick your nose in somewhere! No Shortage of places!

So.. what's holding you back?

You don't have to go back in a time machine --- you can do it right now!

Yeah...you would have just "leveled" that city.

Things don't work that way in the REAL world. If they did, we'd just flatten Iran and N. Korea and be done with it.

Muslim fundamentalists are currently taking over Somalia and are probably offering safe haven to Al Queada there. I don't hear anything from Bush about sending troops in there, armored or not.
