I'm sorry but Somolia really was a situation were the policy was not carried out fully because it was not planned well and just plain sloppy(By both the U.S. and U.N.)!
Not to mention, this particular example is in left field somewhere.
If you want to get to the point, anyone on this board could say that both parties don't do enough for the African-American community. However, if 90% of the African-American population voted Democrat and only 9% voted Republican, what does that tell you?

It tells me that the black vote is taken for granted by the democratic party. Also before, the new deal most blacks voted republican so things do change. How much more power as a people would we have if we actually used our voting muscle and held politicians accoutable. Also Colin Powell and Rice are more than qualified and should be applauded for earning those positions.
