These names are absurdly US-centric and overdramatized. "First (etc) battle of Mogadishu", as if (1) there had been no fighting in Mogadishu before US forces became involved in 1993 and (2) these battles were some sort of Stalingrad fixed-piece wars, when they were militia turf wars. Someone should do something about it before it gains Internet currency. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.224.234.79 (talk) 03:32, 28 April 2009 (UTC)Reply
The first battle of Mogadishu was, in effect, a set-piece engagement.
