		The tough response of the United Nations to Gen. Mohamed Farrah Aidid's provocation presents an opportunity for the peacekeeping forces to do what they should have done sooner: Disarm all Somali warlords and their followers.
		Failure to do this earlier was one of at least three policy pronounce-ments and decisions that emboldened Aidid's forces to attack the troops of the United Nations with impunity.
		Aidid showed his contempt soon enough by referring to the contingent as a laughingstock that was incapable of minding its own security let alone protect others.
