intervene in order to alleviate the humanitarian disaster and restore peace in Somalia

and a long explanation "U.S. foreign policy objectives in Somalia are to promote political and economic stability, prevent the use of Somalia as a safe haven for international terrorism, and alleviate the humanitarian crisis caused by years of conflict, drought, flooding, and poor governance."
