Somalia got what they wanted: Rule by jihadis. The hell with them.

Ethiopia is another story. They’re helping to chase AQ in Somalia. That makes them an ally.

Unfortunately, they are at the mercy of the weather. When hard times come, they’re ill-prepared.

The U.N. should be kicked into yesterday, the hypocritical bastards. They dictate international policy in the form of the Kyoto Protocol (global warming) that puts junk science in front of human beings. High rising fuel prices due to ridiculous policy just makes us mad, but it means the difference between life and death for many third world countries. I notice the GuardianUK gives this a “barely mentioned” at the end of their story
