A great number of the world's nations would have to initiate and support a
nation building effort there for decades to get Somalia rolling, We've
blown two trillion dollars on Iraq, and I wouldn't bet a dollar on that
nation surviving after our departure, no matter when our departure was.
What could be accomplished in Somalia?


Virtually nothing, as Bush I and then Bill Clinton found out.
But meanwhile the piracy will continue. It's a tough one and unfortunately
not the *only* problem that exists like this in the real world.
