#1 WOT > Jihais are not fighting only for oil, but also for vital commodities other than oil.

#3 Send in the Evangelists to drain the swamp. Hell, if the Scientologists think they can make a few bucks selling tapes send them in too.

#5 The US has had special operations units working in the Sahel for most of the past five years, with some very good results. Mali, in particular, has seen a vast improvement in the armament, training, and logistics of its small army. We've also dug several hundred wells, done thousands of medical missions, and helped build at least a dozen major roads. There's a group here in the Springs that's working in the area planting trees and other vegetation that will help stop the desertification of the area AND provide a cash crop. No "evangilizing", just improving the lives of the locals and providing some stability. It works.
