“The stadium was packed, the guns were cocked and even the drenching rain could not douse the jihadist fire”…
- From “Islamists rally Somalis to prepare for war with Ethiopia”, IHT, Dec 14, ’06 (by Jeffrey Gettleman and Mark Mazzetti, Pg 4).

But lest anyone has forgotten, here is a sobering piece of what happened the last time US interevened in Somalia: “Anatomy of a Disaster” (George J. Church, TIME Cover story, Oct 18 ‘93).
