The New York Times reports that the United States government is paying for children in Somalia to help defend what many argue is a near-non-existent government in one of the most impoverished and violent countries in the world, Somalia. How are US taxpayers doing this? Arming children, some as young as nine-years-old, with Kalashnikov assault rifles.

1. Hey, maybe if we could get some troops out of Iraq, we could just send in
UN troops, of which, US troops would be a part, and we could do something WITH other nations to bolster the legitimate Somali government without arming children?

Nah. Too easy.
