A friend of mine saw a news report, maybe the same one.  He said what
stuck 
out was the fact that all the Somalis being interviewed said what an
unfair 
characterization of Somalia it was, yet, in the background the moview
was 
being played again, and every time an American soldier was hit, the
Somali 
audience would cheer.  They also tried to say that the movie showed what

great warriors the somalis were, and that that was the reason for the 
fiasco.  Hmmmmm..... How many Somalis were killed in that fight?
