#4 "We are supporting the Islamic Courts because these unarmed civilians have to support who is more powerful"

Ummmm - that could be fixed.

#5 Color me unimpressed. They have managed to take Greater Mogadishu, whoopee! If and when they manage to take all of Somalia, and then Puntland and Somaliland, they will have done something. Until then, all they have managed to do is get one street gang in charge of a former major urban area. And if the Islamists take on Somaliland, they will be trounced by the 'Landers. Those individuals have an actual functional state, with sewers, water systems, tax collection, garbage service, and the like. Plus, they have an army that is actually deserving of the name, and a sugar daddy in the form of Ethiopia. Somaliland serves as Ethiopia's major sea ports since Eritrea split off.

#7 My dear, innocent Justice, I'll happily take that job you offered. Of course, my father is a biochemistry professor, and I know all sorts of interesting things that happen when urine splashes and bleach are mixed together, or ammonia and vinegar. Do sleep well!
