Bush as Global Menace: Somalia

As we approach the fourth anniversary of President Bush’s ‘victory” in Iraq, it looks like–while everyone is talking about withdrawal dates and surges in Baghdad– Dubya and his cohorts have been responsible for a similar horrific disaster in Somalia, in the Horn of Africa.

Using the infinite resources of the Internet (to go beyond my previous post), I’ve tried to cobble together an understanding of what lies behind the current horrific images coming from what is probably the most failed of all the globe’s failed states.

It’s an approximation. If substantially true, however, it indicates that Somalia is another hornet’s nest the Bush administration has stumbled into–and is now obliterating–obsessed as it is with the “war against terrorism.” It’s an obsession that so far has sewn only death and chaos and strengthened rather than destroyed Al Qaeda and radical jihad.
