Mogadishu Quotes

• I think the Mogadishu effect, if I had to define it, is we need to be more careful where we decide to commit US forces, and for what reason, and to make a clear judgment as to what we can and can't do and whether it's in our interests, or we could afford the resources that it would take to make the situation right.

• In those sticky summer nights in South London our windows stay open and our tiny apartment becomes our secret garden. The magic of the secret garden is that it exists in our imagination. There are no limits, no borderlines. The secret garden leads to the marigolds of Mogadishu and the magnolias of Kingston and when the heat turns us sticky and sweet and unwilling to be claimed by defeat we own the night. We own our bodies. We own our lives.

• La mayoría de las muchachas somalíes solteras que se quedaban embarazadas se suicidaban. Supe de una chica en Mogadiscio que se echó un bidón de gasolina por encima en el salón, con todo el mundo allí, y se quemó viva. Por supuesto, si no lo hubiera hecho, su padre y sus hermanos probablemente la habrían matado de todos modos.

• I guess what I'm looking for here is empathy. So you [Nicholas Kristof] have traveled all around the world, famously to the worse places of the world. Darfur. Mogadishu, Ouagadougou. Probably those places much more than Modesto or Lewiston.I never read a column by you that suggest the people in those places, who support dictators oftentimes, are racists or bad people. You would never write that about a poor person in the third world but you are implying that about your fellow Americans.

• Los acontecimientos externos pueden cambiar una campaña presidencial, un presidente y la historia de la nación: la crisis de los rehenes iraníes, el bombardeo del cuartel de los Marines en Beirut, el derribo del helicóptero en Mogadiscio (Somalia), el ataque suicida contra el USS Cole y, por supuesto, los atentados terroristas del 11 de septiembre de 2001.
