I just would have thought that it is best not to back warlords - its a bad look. The UN seeks peace and protection (even if they do a bad job). According to the article, the US has a totally different (and really quite dubious) goal in Somalia. And more to the point, dozens of times in the last 6 decades the "enemy of my enemy is my friend" has bitten the US govt in the ass, including Saddam.

Good old mul...
A legend in his own mind.... Sheesh...... Just remember..If it went wrong, it is the liberals fault...Just remember.....Guiliani and Gingrich are far more moral than Clinton...Just remember everything that GWB does is sheer genius.... Anyone want to pony up a buck or two so we can buy mul an up-to-date atlas and a book on world history and perhaps a third on the essentials of logical thinking? Stick around, mul..You make this stop on my internet rounds worthwhile!!

I am not up to date with the details of of a hypothetical move against Somalia. But - what US does not need is a duplication of "Black Hawk Down". That would be detrimental, to say the least.
On the other hand, anything to block out / eradicate Muslim fundamentalism is worth a medal in my book. On a side note, I read a report on 'Acid crime' in Bangladesh. Apparently throwing acid in the face of women that do not accept to marry the man appointed to them, has become a popular remedy. The pics of 10 - 15 year old girls with their face and upper abdomen 'melted away' are totally horrendous. And, what do you know, 90% of the population are Muslims.
