Hmm is that what I said? Maybe you and the majority of Americans need to learn to read.

And then Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Syria sent support to the Islamists.
In other words, Somalis did alright w/o a government, until foreigners came along to impose their proxy rule on them., resulting the violence today.

This entire video is based off of taking an article out of context. The article showed that Somalia had improved more than it's neighbors in many areas measuring poverty in a time period w/o a state. And then the US came along and supported warlords to gain support for an in-exile(read: made by foreigners) central gov't to be imposed on Somalia. Ethiopia(long seen by Somalis as an enemy) supported this and sent troops as well. This lead directly to the Al-Shabab Islamist gaining power.

Saddam was supported by lower class workers and Sunni middle class. He relied on aid from the US, spent 8 years at war for nothing, and invaded Kuwait And Saudi Arabia. Even w/o US intervention, he would have faced another costly long war, instead of the quick defeat the US brought.

And again you miss the point. These warlords relied on outside resources. They relied on an ideology that there would be a state. And they are often killed.

So you're saying we should sell the national parks to developers? Luckily we live in a democracy, the majority of Americans strongly disagree with you.

Saddam's government survived 30+ years and was based on force. Your logic = fail. What do they win? The right to have any woman they want, the right to take anything anybody has they want, use whatever they seized at gunpoint to buy more guns, and so what that it turns Somalia into an impoverished hellhole, they're sociopaths, they don't care, they got theirs and f*** the rest of Somalis duh!

Not perfect societies but they have their over modern systems of governance, and they can be improved.

Uh-huh and being ungoverned is not enough. If a government disappears people want a new one.
Lack of governance is not what I desire at all. Just voluntary govts
Really? The whole "humans are barbaric and need govts to keep them in line" gaff? Again you can't use Somalia even remotely as an example of what free people will do, because they still expected a state, and then foreign states intervened.
The channel I linked to has several videos on Iceland, Ireland, the Old West.
