Reply #41: George Bush intervened in Somalia and destabilized the country [View All]

with his failed 'WOT' just when it was beginning to stabilize with a government that was Somalian, but Islamic, and the US under Bush, didn't want an Islamic Govt there. What business it was of his, I don't know, but getting Somalia's old enemies, the Ethiopians, to invade and topple the govt, let to the most radical group taking over.

I'm sure we are not popular there and I believe we are still intervening in the country.

Somalia is the result of incredibly bad policies, going back to when European Colonialists were there, used up whatever resources they had, and then left it to devolve into chaos. Much like we did in Afghanistan.

The radical leaders have now granted permission for aid groups to come in to the country, so I suppose we could donate money at least, to those who are getting in.
