As I went about earning my daily bread a few years ago, I ran into this young man several times. He always had an attitude; is English wasn't very good but it was clear that he was particularly upset at women wielding authority. Though he might have ended up on the wrong side of the law in any case (and that is not a foregone conclusion) the destruction of Somalia gave him a huge banner to ride behind; and that destruction was allowed passively, at least, at the very top levels of this country.
That fact is documented in The Family: the secret fundamentalism at the heart of American power, by Jeff Sharlet.
You need to know what your country is up to, if for no other reason than that the blowback loop is larger and faster now than it's ever been.
