You state: “If in your above statement you are talking about Somalia as in Operation Restore Hope from 1992 - 1993 I would agree with you. We should have never gone in there because simply it was not about feeding starving people. We can feed all of the starving people in the world if all it was about is delivering food. Unfortunately, there are many that it is to their benefit to have starving people. It’s where they derive their power. People in America don’t understand this, but in many parts of the world food is power and that was so in Somalia in 1992.”
Let’s be clear, Operation Restore Hope initiated by Bush in Summer 1992 succeeded in its intent by January 1993. Widespread famine was averted. It was the administration of Bill Clinton (he, a captive of UN-think) that retained military in Somalia. The Marines sent under Bush had left, and it was the Clinton regime that attempted a fruitless nation-building that has continued from that day to this. It is also accountable for that latrine we call Minneapolis.
