Here we go...
This entire thread is hilarious!
Do you have any idea what it is like on the ground when you're "helping" these countries??? No. You have no concept of what it is like and therefor have no understanding of why many here have those "selfish" views. Picture your best friend in your mind, now imagine picking up the pieces of him to put into a bag. Now I want you to think of what you would say to his pregnant wife. Explain how the lives of some people another world away, were worth it. If it is in a legitimate defense against your own country then yes, by all means it can be worth it. But for Somalia? The US has been there and done that...So don't say that the US hasn't been involved with that country before. Do some research and you'll see that we have.
What makes Somalia any different from the other jacked up countries around the world? What about the thousands that are killed in Myanmar? What about the rest of Africa? What about the civil war in Libya? The oppression in China? North Korea? Thailand? Philippines? Literately the majority of the world is in shambles. So why Somalia? Why bury the U.S. even further into the hole we're in, for a bunch of people that are beyond help?
If you feel so bad about the things occurring in Somalia, save your pennies, jump on a plane and go see what you can do. You're under the impression that the rest of the world thinks like we do. You don't seem to understand the concept that people there are different. The culture in countries such as these is primal at best. In order to change that, we would have to dedicate resources to develop an entire generation of people. That's the only way. So yeah, fuck that. They'll either figure it out on their own or die in the process. It's nature, let it take its' course.
