Erdogan: Turkey to set up embassy in Somalia, play Lady Bountiful
2011-08-19
After the embassy, they'll build roads, houses, schools, and dig wells. Then they'll be shocked when the Islamists attack them because they're infidels.

#3  Agreed. Somalia is far enough away that the Turks can't get a whole lot of regional hegemony points, just global do-gooder points (none of which can be cashed in for membership in the EU).

#2  If the Turks want to grab a hold of that little slice of heaven, more power to them. I just hope that they fight in Somalia like they did in Korea and Vietnam - lots of dead Somalis and very few troublemakers left alive in their areas.
