"Somalia is not lacking in authority, it has too much"

There is no authority in Somalia, there is power by force.

That's not authority, that's oppression.

Authority is granted, not taken.

"Authority is granted, not taken."

You're making authority sound benevolent, which I don't think is it's nature. Necessary in some ways? Yes. Beneficial if limited? Yes. But always something to be feared and kept under restraint.

Again, I doubt we are in disagreement on this.
