Gone are the tragic images of vacant-eyed skeletal children dying by the thousands in Somali villages. In their place are equally troubling images of shell-shattered civilians and Mogadishu mobs, fists raised in anger against the mounting violence. "It is more dangerous today in Mogadishu than at any time during the civil war," says Howard Bell, country director for the relief agency CARE...
...Anger is focused squarely on the U.S. The helicopters and missiles responsible for the civilian casualties are almost entirely American. While the U.N. military forces are ostensibly led by Turkish General Cevik Bir, his staff is predominantly American and the real boss in Somalia is U.N. special representative Jonathan Howe, a retired U.S. Navy admiral. The determination to decapitate Aidid's faction is considered an American interpretation of the U.N. resolution calling for the capture of the Somalis responsible for the ambush of the Pakistanis. A total of 35 peacekeepers have died since May, none of them American...

Still, Twilight is dazzling and depressing, rich in details that subtly illuminate the problem of race. Rodney King's angry aunt, recalling happier times, refers...
...military operations go, the air attacks proved relatively painless. They were fast, accurate, and there were no allied casualties. But beyond venting anger at the U.N. killings, it was hard to see that Washington had moved much closer to cleaning up Somalia. Pentagon officials told TIME that a follow-up % attack on Aidid's stronghold in the city of Galkaio will soon follow. Until and unless the warlord is captured, Clinton will be unable to call it a mission accomplished...
