ANOTHER STINK BOMB BEING LEFT BEHIND BY BUSH, AND THE PREVAILING MINDSET THAT THE US CAN DO WHAT IT PLEASES WITH FOREIGN LANDS, IS SOMALIA.
OH, RIGHT, WE'RE CONCERNED ABOUT PIRACY--AND OUR PRESS TREATS IT LIKE IT CAME OUT OF NOWHERE--BUT OUR INTERFERENCE IN THAT LONG SUFFERING COUNTRY BEGAN UNDER BUSH I, AND JUST WHEN THE ISLAMIC COURTS MOVEMENT PROMISED TO BRING SOME STABILITY TO THE COUNTRY, BUSH II FUNDED A DECEMBER 2006 ETHIOPIAN INVASION, THAT ONCE AGAIN LEFT THE COUNTRY LAWLESS AND ITS POPULATION STARVING AND SUFFERING EVEN MORE DEPRIVATIONS THAN BEFORE. IN A LAWLESS, STARVING LAND, PIRACY AND CRIME TAKES HOLD.
THE COURTS MOVEMENT IS ONCE AGAIN ABOUT TO REGAIN CONTROL, AND THEY WILL SUPPRESS PIRACY TOO. MAYBE THE FRIEDMAN'S WILL LET THEM ALONE, CONSERVATIVE MUSLIMS OR NOT, BUT I DOUBT IT. WE JUST WON'T LEARN.
EVERTHING BUSH/RICE/CHENEY TOUCHES TURNS INTO DISASTER.
