Bush's Blood-Orgy in Somalia

Black Americans were rounded up and stranded by Black politicians who created people who were helpless because they depend on cheap liberal handouts. Blaming Bush for Katina is a joke!

It's true that Bush won't be rushing troops into central Africa or East Timor ?but then, neither did Clinton. (Gore, meanwhile, even claimed during the presidential debates that the US failure to intervene in Rwanda was The right decision.? Bush Sr.'s 1992 humanitarian intervention in Somalia in the last days of his presidency mutated under Clinton into an armed conflict, and concluded with the deaths of more than 20 American soldiers and at least 1000 Somali civilians ?again, it's hard to see the Bush Jr. team getting into that kind of mess. The new Secretary of State has lent his name to an intellectual justification for US apathy ?the 'Powell Doctrine' holds that US troops should only be committed in situations where planners can easily envisage a swift outcome, and where sufficient troops are available to expedite this outcome. (Early versions of the Powell Doctrine suggested that the best way to intervene was with massive force, as the turkey-shoot in Iraq had demonstrated.) We're certain to see evidence of this thinking in the next four years, and there are bound to be parts of the world ignored by Bush which desperately need international peacekeeping troops. On balance, however, this aggressive apathy may be more palatable than the Assertive multilateralism?of the Clinton administration, which achieved its zenith in 1993 as 'peacekeeping' US commandos shot their way out of Mogadishu.

Funny Polsite when the President follows the Powell Doctrine he is running away. And what possible outcome is there when you send troops in to feed people? It's an appearance problem. People see guns, and food and its a fight. That same image problem still exists when the US big Military tried to bring relief supplies to Burma. When are we going to stop making people feel like they are a threat while we claim to be helping them? It's a complete contradiction. Now if we had relief efforts in dropping food to people, and also in certain areas in exchange for guns and arsenals I think it would be a different story, especially when we deliver without rifles sticking out the windows. Bush Sr.violated the Powell Doctrine....and Jr. violated it with Iraq and Afghanistan.

How to solve the problem today is to supply relief supplies, and to get people in Somalia to help deliver the aid. Warlords can only handle so much stuff. Tell them to stop the fighting and warlording so we they get more aid and relief for them toward building their country. Don't ignore them, and don't threaten with the military and sanctions.
