Attack or Suberversion

Somalia had not attacked, but they had been fomenting guerrilla warfare inside Ethiopia using the Ethiopian Muslims for years, and with an imminent Fundamentalist take over of all of Somalia, Ethiopia decided since Eritrea and Arabs were showing up in Somalia while others were sending Fundamentalist Muslims into Somalia they would send three thousand soldiers with a few airplanes and tanks to level the playing field. Who wants Sharia Law for the next thousand years? Nigeria will do what she started to do, and if she is smart, she will get out quickly and not get bogged down again. This war is getting to be a religious warfare much like the Hundred Years in Europe. Ayman al-Zawahri stated in his last tape that Jihad brings liberation not elections. This is a fundamental axiom of Fundamental Islam. Almost every war going in Africa is a religious with Muslims forcing Christians and earth religions to either convert to Islam or die. Ethiopia said enough is enough.

Funding Social Disolution, Creating Islamic Fundamentalists

Somalians of the Ogaden region of Ethiopia have always had the support of Somalians of Somalia, whether under Socialist President Siad Barre, clan and or war lord leaders, all Muslims by the way, so the point of fundamentalist fear might be well taken, but not as if they would be any more or less interested in the peoples' sense of a Greater Somalia, which will probably continue.
The wire services have been describing the birth of the Islamic Courts as coming from the business sector which of course has enormous trade with Islamic nations and was reported as a reaction to the recent (U.S.) funding of the war lord lawlessness and violence.
As to the characterization of fundamentalists as determined to force the whole world to become Muslims or die, one might just point out that there has been no invasions, occupations, stationing of troops, economic and political control or colonization of any non-Muslim nation by Muslims in our time, while obviously the reverse is the true state of affairs since the break up of the Ottoman Empire. Not without the use of Western terror one might add.

The invaders will be wanting to paint Islam as the aggressor for the violent actions or reactions of defeated and desperate men and women. The best way to avoid the kind of peace, law and order being implemented by strict and severe measures, as the Sharia, is to not promote the destruction, destabilization and undermining of societies with big money and bigger money interests - the CIA and State Dept. was itself actually funding Afghan tribal fundamentalists and thousands of Wahabi schools fighting against a modern Kabul government six months before the Soviets intervened. That reaped terrible blow- back consequences after the Soviets were defeated and the fundamentalists turned on the U.S.

The resurgence of fundamentalism has just received its latest boost by a duplicit and foolish U.S. venture backing the very warlords who shot down its helicopters in Mogadishu. It is easy to throw money and arms around without thinking through the suffering and chances for success, as for instance in the case of funding, arming and training some tough and brave guys, beginning in the 1980s, like John Garang, for long drawn out warfare against the Sudanese government, or funding Apartheid South Africa backed Jonas Savimbi indiscriminately and oblivious to the loss of life in Angola. The world might soon be learning to say enough is enough.
