1)What government control? Was Somalia's government ever anything more than half assed?

I can't name one government thats not half-assed. Can you?

THIS is the whole point!

2)Freeing individuals in what way? They're still in a clan system employed by and dependent upon any one of a thousand warlords. Is this neo-feudalism a good example of anarchy, then?

[/ QUOTE ]

The "warlords" mostly exist from propping up by foreign governments for political motives. Aside, people have more freedom of commerce which accounts for the rise in prosperity.

Can we refute this without people claiming that Somalia doesn't count? Yes or no?


[/ QUOTE ]

Yes if the people claiming Somalia doesnt count aren't showing why this is so. No if the people claiming Somalia doesnt count are effectively showing why this is so.
