        What's this part? I can't get my focus. "Bey-oay".

                guys...this is the smart way. instead of landing in Mogadishu with bombs and MREs flying at the population, we fight by proxy. Ethiopia versus Somalia, Iraq versus Iran, Afghanis versus Soviets, Soviets versus Germans.

                  According to the latest wire reports, the Islamic militia has abandoned Mogadishu, the Somali capital. Former militia gunmen there are shedding their uniforms and switching their allegiances back to their clans.

                  I wouldn't be surprised if the Islamic militia starts setting off suicide bombers any week now, probably in key "military" targets such as marketplaces, buses and whatnot. Those civilians can be a menace, y'know, to the Quranic way of life favored by certain militants.

                        I wanna see how Ethiopia handles this occupation. Should be an interesting contrast with Iraq and the Palestinian Territories.

                          Ethiopia didn't come to annex these lands, nor occupies them for a couple of decades

                            Well, maybe they won't suffer too much from "technical malfunctions"...

                              Correct. According to Ethiopian officials, their main goal was to basically kick the crap out of the Islamic militia so it *and* the U.N.-backed official government had no choice but to negotiate an agreement from positions of similar strength.

                              Whether or not that's going to happen remains to be seen.

                                Yeah, right. A fatal malfunction once a year is something the Somalians will be yearning for.

                                Let's suppose Ethiopia manages to kick the militia's asses and reinstall the legal government. Then what? Without Ethiopian military presence they're just going to get pushed out again.
