If you like poor people of color roaming the street with guns, Somalia is
your place to be.

If it were not for the poor Somalis already in dire straits, I would suggest
packing all the gummint' hating US-ers, both the pinko- and the blacko-
varieties, on a container ship and dumping them with their guns in Somalia -
or better yet, on an inhabited island - and then sending in the Marines to
finish off what is left.  The world would be a much better place to be.
