poiuyt Posted December 12, 2009 In the West, something like 70% of the population seems to understand the intrinsic importance of the rule of law. They're not just following laws because they're afraid of the consequences of breaking them, but rather, they follow laws because they realize the consequences of a lawless society. Our Somali leaders never could see the ultimate consequences of their warlike behavior. They can't see beyond their noses and don't really seem to be any smarter or more knowledgeable than your average Somali. Your Somali government leader is like your average Somali in education and ability. Consider Said Barre. Say what you will about his reign, h failed to see the consequences of failing to appease those other clans. The stability of his reign was like the stability during the eye of a storm. If Said Barre had been smarter he would have been able to diffuse all those tensions that were simmering under the service. But because of his lack of intelligence, he added to those tensions. Leaders have to be smarter than the populace they lead. Consider the current president, Sheikh whathisface. What are his qualifications to lead a country other than "he knows Islam really, really well"? What's his understanding of economics, strategy, politics, etc? None. He's just as blind as your average Somali. If our leaders had been smarter, Somalia wouldn't be frequently listed as the worst country in the world. But unfortunately smart leaders pop up from smart populaces, and Somalia consistently producing idiotic leaders just means that the Somali populace is idiotic.

Cowke Posted December 12, 2009 Somalis tend to forget that an educated leader is only respected by an educated populace. The populace in Somalia are savages and therefore require a savage leader or else they just won't listen. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mist Posted December 12, 2009 I think its just the mentality and culture they are living in, most countries have been through lawlessness and have survived. Somalia just needs to find its time and courage to beat the routine. It will take longer than most think, comparing it to countries that have been stable for centuries is wrong. Its a long process to gain conformity and law, the first step is the hardest. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
