Has anyone seen a mainstream media report that even hinted at America's crucial role in the chaotic state of Somalia which has led to the piracy? I haven't.

You won't get an argument out of me that things are fucked up in Somalia and that the MSM is undercovering that mess. I understand that pirating is now the growth industry of Somalia. And I am sure we contributed to the mess but frankly, we have enough problems here at home......I can't worry too much about Somalia at this point.

I think the only reason AQ headquarters in Pakistan is that there's more order there than Somalia.

What would YOU have done regarding Somalia?

I always see a lot of people saying how bad things are but they don't really offer any alternatives.
