...similar progression: a toppling of the central government that was followed by years of warlord feuding (18 U.S. soldiers died protecting a U.N. mission in Mogadishu in 1993, an episode that later became the subject of the book and film Black Hawk Down) and then the rise of a movement - the Taliban in Afghanistan, al-Shabab in Somalia - that proposed an extremist vision of Islam as a solution to the lawlessness.

The hipster kids that drove the home-brew movement, making ale in their kitchens, are the ones now making booze in their kitchens. That part is very foodie, very crafty and very caught up in authenticity and care, and there's a booming - booming - hobby world. The federal law makes no dispensation for personal use.
