Ok then .said, they should pull all of their AID and charity from Sri Lanka (take back the billions they gave after the Tsunami) the billions of dollars of food and medical supplies they pump into Africa, parts of the Middle East, South America, etc etc. They should not send any money to the earthquake relief in China (which they are preparing to do) they should have stopped pulling refugees out of the former Yugoslavia....

"its unfair..To post such picture is unfair---we must respect all nationality"

just because of a simple & harmless photo, then those who insist on posting photos/cartoons just for the sake of insulting other religions/prophets, should all be executed!

Where has the "freedom of expression" gone to?

I also think that it is funny when some people think that America can bring aid, help or peace to a place/country, when all it brings is killing, wars & hatred!

I don’t know particularly about Somali, but ofcos America is having a reputation of being a big nosy poker into all irrelevent issues part of its propaganda , they messed up a lot of things in world (and they are still doing it) and others had to pay heavily or it. It’s a known truth with historic prove. Most of the time there are big conspiracies and hidden agenda behind their foreign policies which even it’s misjudged by its own people through very well managed deep rooted deliberate negative PR stories….

In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.

It seems that most of the people here don't know much about foreign policy practices and mechanisms.

Any country in the world that provides any kind of aid to another country has got a hidden agenda and clear political/strategic/economic goals and benefits that it will gain from the poor country. Only non profit organizations don't... and in some cases they even do too.

I'm not saying this because I'm pro or against, but because this is what the Americans have taught me in their own university (majoring in Political Science) and this is what any one in the foreign affairs field will confirm.

Forgiveness and being generous towards any country in politics has got to have a reason behind it. People tend to analyze politics with their own values, from their own angle and by using their hearts and at the end they fight. Unfortunately in foreign policy that's not valid and this is what politicians want you to do.

I repeat, I'm not saying this because I'm pro or against.

Cheers to all.

Guys,

Every Nation in the world has good people and bad people.

And the most stupid thing is to have a feeling toward a whole nation, it doesn't make any sense when you say: I hate Russians, or Indonesians, Or Thai..

Guess how many great and good people you offended by saying that, just because you don't like one of them..

Peace....:D

What's worse Realsomeone, the fact that your country is controlled by warlords, or that these warlords get American weapons. You would still have warlords whether the US was giving the weapons or not.

I have a son that was going to be going over there with the Peacecorps...and risking HIS life for YOUR people.

If they are sending troops then perhaps there was more to what you see than you are saying. And yes, America IS sending food to Somalia...like Gypsy said...its being held by your wonderfully noncorrupt government.

thank you...yes, we do, just as all the other countries do too..make mistakes, that is. No government is pure good...all are out for what they want or can get..that's politics, plain and simple.

Its just tough to swallow each time, people coming on here saying how the world's problems are all caused by the Americans...no one will pull up their big boy panties and admit there were issues and try and correct them. I guess pointing the finger is so much easier than trying to fix what is broken. Reminds me of small children who are caught with a broken lamp...HE DID IT!!!

America is trying to get back on track..it will take time..we've had a rough 7 years with the current leadership to deal with. That will soon change, thank goodness. If people will attempt to let the ruckus die down and stop with the hate cartoons and comments, it would happen so much quicker that everyone would get along. Hopefully that will happen..Godwilling/Inshallah.

Scarlet America is not sending food in Somalia they send 50,0000 Ethiopian troops with latest tanks and sending bombs from the sky. should i be gratefull to America for this.

and hey i dont hate your people, i hate your administration. and please research the facts before you just claim America is doing good.

our people were killed by warlords funded by US, and you cant say this is our fault.

Guys lets agree that USA has made some mistakes, and still does, but what i believe is that the american ppl are good and nice ppl in general, and that some gov.'s go wrong, and still USA will go back to the role it should be doing, extremist are on both sides.

yes all nationa has it own interests, but when u take u must give in return, don't think that i hate US no i study in an american university, and have great frinds there,

By Scarlett• 13 May 2008 10:38

first you have to forgive yourself before you can forgive others. Its like Abu said...somalians were killing each other a long time before the Americans were involved. Retribution is trying to be made..can't you see that? Posting cartoons such as you did, just spread more mistrust and hatred. I can't comment on others on here because I haven't been on line for the past few weeks, but I CAN on this thread. It is totally uncalled for. I COULD say that America should stop sending food aid to Somalia, but you know what??? I can't and won't because I believe that if someone is starving then you are obliged to help them out..its human nature and an obligation to humankind. Our Peace corps are there trying to teach YOUR people how to raise crops so that Somalians can raise food for themselves also...at the own risk of losing THEIR lives...and yet you still have such an attitude towards our people. I just do NOT understand a person like you at all. Americans aren't looking for a thank you, but we are certainly not expecting a knife in our backs either for attempting to help your country and its people.

Isn't funny how when the US interferes with a foreign despotic government everyone says "Hey Get Out it's none of your business!" but when they don't come to the rescue, everyone says "Hey why is the US doing nothing!"

The reason food and medical supplies aren't getting to the African people is because of the corrupt African governments (or lack thereof) not because of a lack of effort on the part of the US.

scarllet there is guidelines to forgiveness one most important of that is when the person quits what he was doing. so how will you tell me to forgive US when they did not quit their killing of Somali people?

secondly i have always said i have no hatred to soceity or a community, if you read with a clear mind what these folks commented to me is obvious what makes someone feel hatred.

Love comes when peace comes...thanks

this is a really unfortunate thread...anyone that judges someone based on where they are from or the color of their skin or anything else without KNOWING that person should proabably take a look at themselves instead of lashing out at others.

you make a mockery of Somalia with your hatred towards others...When American tries to help with food donations, you say they do it when food is plenty..ever heard of biting the hand that feeds you? yes, America has made a lot of mistakes, but at least they are trying to help...ever heard of forgiveness? I KNOW that's in every religion in the world. Might try it some time and let go of your anger and hatred or it will consume you from the inside out and you will become a burnt out shell of hatred. The supreme Being gave us the ability to forgive and love one another..try using it instead of useing what the Devil gives us...hatred and anger.

AbuAmerican that may be true for the rest of Africa but that is not true on Somalia, everything from 1993 (after Black Hawk Down) is to be blamed for the US.

killing of thousands of innocent somalis and fuelling their long time enemy is an event that the US will not be forgiven atleast from our eyes.

He is angry coz he cant have a white chick or a blond as his girlfriend.

He is angry coz the US embassy might have rejected his visa application several times.

he is angry coz he cant be there right now in his country to help his country mate. and he will not coz he is scared to face them.
