Subject: Y u all hating on Somalians
Somalian    3/19/2004 6:24:07 AM
Honestly tell me why you lot all hate Somalians, realistically what exactly have they done to you? What threat are they to you? I mean you lot may all be bitter about Black Hawk Down but how many Somalians died in that war when really America should not have gone there in the first place. You Lot are soooooooooo bloody self obsessed and paranoid

Less emphasis on just America & more on the U.N. being the bigger player involved back in 93'. I don't feel any lasting animosity toward somalians. I'm very aware of the casualties involved on both sides. We're willing to try to help again, but of course, that will entail the foriegn press being there as well to inflame public passions once again. You can either look at it as round two, or you can look at it as, just trying to do better the next time around!

i dont thin you understand the context of that war if you think alot of somolians dides becuase of american intervention may i remind you that. 300,000 died of starvation and thousands more were saved becuase we went in and handed out food but we couldnt just give it to the people cuase a bunch of warlords hoarded it and used hunger to crush oposition so we had to go in and make sure our food got to the people we gave it to. a totaly just cuase. the millitary operaions there saved far more that they killed. Ps i dont think anybody hates somolians for MOgadishu but if they do you go to admit when you bite the hand that feeds you your gonna get slaped, now when you murder the guy than drag his body through the streets celebrating your not gonna get fed agian

Somalian. i find it offensive that you think it was wrong of america to try and help. The people were being starved by warlords and america was only trying to help by getting rid of those starving the people. The starvation in somalia was the biggest seen in the past hundred years and your saying it was wrong to try and help!!!!! You sir are an idiot

firsty i just want to correct you guys, its 'somalis' not 'somalian'.second of all i think the US should have left the 'humanitarian' job to the UN, as it falls under UN jurisdiction and hence avoid fuelling the war... if i may, you dont fight fire with fire.last of all i just want to add, if there is one thing we could all learn from that particular war is that when a country is divided like that its best for foreighn countries to keep out because like the past, history will always repeat itself...I think the somali fighting still exists and i think those US soldiers that fought and died in that war could still be with their families if more time had been taken to probe into the situation in Somalia beforehand.so in effect the question im asking is, did The US really achieve what they had hoped to achieve in somalia, looking at it now????

The UN peacekeeping force did not seem to be accomplishing their goals. It is true that Americans for the most part do not understand the issues of Somalia, but despite that, American forces were committed to help with the distribution of UN humanitarian aid and providing security for the UN.

"did The US really achieve what they had hoped to achieve in somalia, looking at it now????"

No. If the goals were realized, the ethnic fighting would have been stopped, and the UN would have achieved it's goals. The loss of life that occurred on both sides would not have happened. Somalia would possibly be a more stable country now. It is unfortunate that things turned out as they did; not for the US, but for Somalia specifically, and Africa in general.
