Samolia lacks an unifying leader. There is no single person that all, or most Samolians an identify with. I am against dictators, but that seems to be the only option. They need a ruthlesss leader. Guns, germs an steel still get the job done best in Africa. Somalia needs a man to break and destroy the Islamic Rebels. Only extermination will do. The people are not ready for Democracy. They cannot handle it. Someday Samolia will have thier “Revolution of 1800″, but that seems in the distant horizan. Until then, the humanitarian obligations of a democracy are just not an option.

Dealing with a failed state is simple, it’s been being done since Rome… Invade, take ground, kill the enemy, declare martial law, take resources, and use them to set up infrastructure. But in the modern world, when it’s all working, leave without getting anything for it. So who wants to be the “bloodthirsty invader, colonialist, imperialist, and killer of women and children” who will throw their sons away helping someone who will hate them for it this time? Yeah… Why are they being ignored… There’s really NO way to help.

I’m tempted to suggest simply, “Plan the work|work the plan.” Just planning the work is monumental, never mind the rest. It would take the wisdom of Solomon many times over to even be positioned to attempt success. Looking for Solomon…..

Maybe a nobel prize for any person or organization who brings peace to Somalia?

Does anyone really know how to deal with a failed state? I can’t think of any nation that was so devoid of order, as Somalia, bouncing back.

I wonder if it’s because no one knows how to deal with Somalia. We’ve not been successful in the past (former President Clinton sent in troops, and our help was rejected)and who knows how negotiations have been handled behind closed doors.

We don’t have a clue how to help Somalia.
