#1 It seems most of Somalia is calm, and the people are rather sensible. It's only Mogadischu where there's a problem. I think it's time to establish a government that includes everything BUT Mogadischu, cut the capital off at the knees, allow no one in or out, and blockade the port and airport. Let them stew in their own juices for a few years, killing each other off, dying of starvation and neglect. After five or ten years of that, go in and flush what's left. There probably wouldn't be any recurrence of the dreaded "warlord" disease for several decades, if then.
