“In 1993 I was flying aid into Somalia, principally Mogadishu when the famine had peaked, Siad Barre had been ousted and there was a chance to restore the place into the civilised world.
The UN were in MOG, mainly Nigerians, Pakis and French all of whom had the respect of the local thugs as they were not shy in returning fire. In Jan '93 the Americans landed in that farcical night amphibious landing into the klieg lights of the world's press and proceeded to undo all the work done by the above nations by their utter pussiness. At that time it was assessed that Somalia had had enough of weapons, warlords, technicals and butchery and would have voluntarily disarmed to a strong enough UN force. sadly the US proved a farce rather than a force and the opportunity was lost.”

Another bitter Nigel at it again! The U.S. has caused all of the problems in the world right? Guess it’s time to throw some tea into the harbor once again!!
