SOMALIA REVISITED

[ranxer]

i don't think mercs were rebuilding anything, they may have been securing areas that were scheduled for reconstruction but i havnt' heard what their mission was in falluja.
either way mercs 'securing' a 'safe zone' for whatever purpose are armed and enforce 'peace' through the threat of violence..
I've heard iraqis saying 'we fought saddam now we are fighting the western occupier', i almost never read or hear of average iraqis talking about religious war, its war against occupation, theft and armed 'pacification' that creates a vicious cycle of violence much of it revenge for collateral damage.
I just don't see much evidence of this religious war you are talking about, and yes 30% is my own estimation from the various news sources i frequent.
