File under: al-Shabaab

#2 Start napalming al-Shabaab and see how fact they come to the "negotiating" table. If there's no possibility of serious retaliation, there's no incentive to change behavior. Two months of blowing up huge chunks of their fighting forces and burning others and their equipment to ash will change "hearts and minds" faster than all the jaw-jaw the UN could put out in 1000 years.
