Look at this headline in the New York Times: "U.S. Aiding Somalia in Its Plan to Retake Its Capital"

This headline in the New York Times talks about US helping "Somalia." Back in 1982, when the civil war raging in Lebanon, the US sent troops to Lebanon to help the right-wing fascist militias of Amin Gemayyel and others. The Reagan administration sold that to the American public as help for "Lebanon." The same thing in Somalia. The US is helping the war criminals' side in a raging civil war, and the New York Times justifies that as "helping Somalia." Which Somalia, o Foreign Editor of the New York Times?
