The Somalia Sitch March 2014 | Page 17

Somalia isn't just a simple war nor should our reaction to it be. here. It's time to deal with adult problems like adults.

To all those who say it's not our problem, yes that's true. The same way it's not your problem when somebody else has hardship or is in trouble. You don't have to fix it, there is no requirement, no law. But that brings us back to asking what kind of country we want to be. The one that watches others suffer and fail, or the one that helps, not because they have to but because they have the power to. Somalia is just the start to the choices we have to make.
