I can't believe how Somalia is despised by writers like Glenn Brigaldino"Sometimes I wonder what would have happened to Somalia, had it been somehow possible to implement Samuel Opondo's idea of cutting it off the Africa map and letting drift into the Indian Ocean. Once freed of the Siad Barre dictatorship, would Somalis have had the time and firmness of mind to find their own path to stability and peace? Perhaps Somalia today would be an agreeable island in a calm sea where grown-ups share poems and kids run and play along the beach after school? Too good to be true, I know."" http://allafrica.com/stories/200610050886.html?page=2
