Somalia Veterans and Coercive Diplomacy

I'm looking for those who deployed to Somalia in the early 1990s as part of either the UN or US only forces.
This is in relation to research I'm doing on coercive diplomacy with Somalia as a case study.
I'd like to talk with several that went over there in regards to overall impressions, your experiences while there and your opinions after the fact.
Thanks.

Did you consider trying to get a hold of the cast of "Black Hawk Down?"

I was there from oct or nov 1992- Feb March 1993. About a week in Mogadishu then to a single dirt runway somewhere in the interior. I was the only heavy equipment operator there.
