No wonder their policy has been containtment of Somalis we were terrorizing them everywhere

[paperino]

'wild Somalis', 'treacherous fellows' and equating Somalis with 'wild beasts' were the terminology of the day. There's even a New York publication of that era charging the Sayid's forces with cannibalism, in a country where there was/is an abundance of livestock.
