We should treat Somalis as terrorists!

I know it's not nice for me to say and very Un-PC, but Somalia is not my favorite country by quite some way. Horrible place from what I know.

However, factions within the country (cough Government cough cough) should be viewed as dangerous. I think Miss Gibbons will vouch for this. They have shown high levels of intolerance in the past and have done some shady stuff.

But that said, it is unfair to generalise them as terrorists. I think cougarman may be Somalian (?) and cougarman is a lovely person. So I think saying somalis are terrorists in general is unfair. It would be more fair to address the problem groups. In this case the government. You wouldn't say Afgans are terrorists, Al-quieda are.

But I agree with the basic principle of your post, Americans should not stand for it. Action should be taken.

I dunno, I try not to get involved in this kind of stuff to be honest.

But I have issues with the word terrorism being used anyway. One persons terrorist is another freedom fighter and that lol. I think it is a word Bush coined to take away those pesky civil liberties. I think violent fanatics would be more apt.



... Sorry, that was like 80% off topic lol

Yeah I screwed the title up a bit but yeah you are dead on.

We have been @ war in Somalia since 2002 actually: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Enduring_Freedom_-_Horn_of_Africa

You guys should go over and take your ships back and that. It's not fair. I'm not saying be violent, just go and kick up a fuss. That's what we did about two years back and we managed to get our way... eventually lol

Mind you I heard about the russians (?) a few months back tried to capture some ships back off the Somali pirates and they couldn't do it because the pirates would have exploited some law to get out of it, but I forget what it was. So you may have trouble with ships.

The SEALS and MARSOF don't have that problem
