I notice that the payment to Somali warlords of $80 million in return for the 'rights' to dump the waste was not mentioned. As much as the article makes it out to be the evil west vs. the noble suffering Somalis, the truth of the situation if far from that simple. On the other hand, it is not a repeat of the Muslim piracy of the Barbary coast, no matter how some sites want to make it.
Oh, and "everybody agrees" is not true either, as everyone can tell you. :) On Sun, Apr 12, 2009 at 2:22 PM, Gruss Gott <[email protected]> wrote: > > In 1991, the government of Somalia - in the Horn of Africa - > collapsed.
