This article offers great analysis for the current and impeding situations in Somalia. Most other writers boasted about America's bullyish Ethiopian allies' victory over the Islamists. Didn't the U.S. rout the Taliban and then the Republican Guard? How is the U.S. doing there now? If Ethiopia is not as well armed as the U.S., and the Somali Mujahideen have the same types of weaponry available to them as the Iraqi Mujahideen, isn't it evident that the Ethiopians will suffer?
