Somali pirate activity is at least partly, a reaction to illegal dumping of toxic waste and illegal fishing on the Somali coast by industrialized nations. Other countries have taken advantage of the instability in this country for years by dumping illegal toxins into the water causing respiratory infections, mouthbleeds, chemical skin reactions and abdominal hemmorage to nearby residents. This country, one of the poorest in the world is ill-equipped to defend itself against such actions and, while this does not justify piracy, it illustrates that this issue is more complex than can be attributed to selfish, thug criminals. As our world is increasingly interconnected through globalization, it will be more and more difficult for developed nations to be unaffected by the poverty of instable, corrupt and impoverished nations such as Somalia.
Unbelievable! That person votes!
Actually looking at who is in the WH I do believe it.

Oh and what was their excuse in 1792? This is not a new thing....
But, as typical with liberals, we should excuse bad behavior, poor guys, blah blah, blah...I am so sick of this crap. And unfortunately, I take it out on my students lots of times...LOL...If they “forget” their homework and try to blame it on someone else, Lord help them because they get a 3 mile long lecture from me about personal responsibility.
