When Americans read about Mogadishu, some image forms in their head reminiscent of Black Hawk Down. Even if its not accurate.
When the rest of the world reads about Washington DC, do they imagine some scene from Natural Born Killers?
Shouldn't having a safe capitol be a national priority just for the reasons of image, appearing to be civilized, allowing foreign diplomats to survive?
