quick follow-up on Somalia

I see that the rival governments, aka 'warlords', are back to fighting
again now that there is no credible U.N. or U.S. force there. We
presumably stayed on after the feeding to engage in nation building,
what a joke. I think this confirms my original diagnosis that the only
thing wrong with Somalia was a political problem (with food as a
weapon). No do-gooder operation can do anything about it. It's
intractable (short of total imperialism) and we should just get out.
