Somalia Urges Speedier Aid

Apparently Somalia is not satisfied with the speed with which the international community has responded in the wake of the tsunami disaster. Of course this veritable desert paradise of the East African Horn, a shining example of peace and harmony blessed with a charmingly tranquil native population, deserves aid just as much as the rest of the nations affected by this horrible event. However, after spending the last thirteen years creating their own disasters that statistically make this latest one look like little more than a paint-scraping fender bender in the arms-bazaar parking lot, I think they are being a bit overly optimistic about the rest of the world’s ability to implement instant to relief to a nation who has so wantonly vandalized its own infrastructure to the point that it can only aspire to be Paleolithic.
