We dealt with the lawlessness of a starving country by letting the UN be in charge of the situation and just serving there to take casualties.
Once casualties were taken, we looked to our Commander in Chief for leadership, forgetting he denied our military minimal armored vehicles.
He, in turn, took the advice that it wouldn't make him look good on TV and decided to walk away because it would cut into his philandering as well..
The warlords divided the spoils and the islamic fascists came to restore their brand of Order.
