Don't make the mistake of thinking cos I grew up in dark running water General
I do know something about history.

Tomorrow without the lots of soldiers white boys I did
I didn't know about that from Texas.
I think you shouldn't have come here
This is civil war

It is more complicated than that

Thank god they never negotiate with me.
You and I can negotiate
Soldier to soldier

Course not, you have the power to kill but not negotiate
But in Somalia killing is negotiation
Do you think your General and I can simply put down our weapons
