#2 Oh, they just do that there after they get their a$$es handed to them. It's a cultural thing.

#3 Under such circumstances, "hosing the crowd" is very forgivable.

#4 I'd say nuke Mogadishu, but it would be one helluva waste of a perfectly good nuke...

#5 One of the first moments I began to wake up from my leftist nightmare was reaction to the same treatment of Americans in Somalia. The United States, under United Nations auspices, volunteers its blood and treasure to distribute food. In return, its men are treated to this sort of spectacular barbarism.

But. When these savages were described as such after dragging a man's corpse through the streets how did "the left" react? With spitting rage at the supposed racism of describing such acts as savagery. The grotesque irony, of course, is that to real racists it does not matter what people do but their skin color or culture that determines their virtue.

#6 a MOAB in teh neighborhood might make them rethink this barbarism - the ones that live, at least. Not one f*cking thin dime for Somalia, nor any imigrants. We have enough cab drivers that can't speak english nor know the geography, thank you

#9 Um, I have a feeling that the Ethiopian response might not be as "measured" as our responses to similar incidents. I predict lots of arty in that neighborhood. Enjoy that; you have earned it.

Oh, and I talked to a friend who was in Mog about a year ago or so... He said if you dropped a hydrogen bomb on the place, it would do a total of 300 dollars worth of damage.

#11 Still, as I remember, a most painful incident that "Blackhawk Down" has left me with. I was so disappointed in Clinton's handling of the extraction (the buck stopped where?), and Les...Les, I'm still overjoyed he is soo dead!!! I still can't come to terms in watching the movie, it's still wrapped in cellophane. How valiant our troops were; how soo unappreciative the Somalian troglodytes were!

It's why I'm willing to go with the box on the stage tu3031's suggestion. Little else will dissuade these cretins from such Neandertal behavior. And if it doesn't, hey, they're all dead anyway!
