Representative Donald Payne, Congressman from NJ's 10th district, discusses his recent visit to Somalia and the future of that region, pirates and otherwise.
Well monikered, immature. The internet is your playground.
Aren't we unlikely to give the Somali government the support it needs because that might actually work against our (morally problematic) economic interests? We and European nations have been dumping toxic waste off the coast of Somalia and illegally fishing in Somali waters; an effective Somali government might put a stop to that.

The U.S. had Ethiopia overthrow the only semblance of a govt that Somalia has had for decades. All for a couple of terrists.
Blowback for that and for dumping garbage in Somalia's erstwhile fisheries. Anyone surprised?
