#1 Wherever they have the best chance of being killed is where they should go.

#2 sounds like the "powerful Islamic Courts" are quickly getting themselves dead and deader. Calling on foreign fighters? Perhaps a US naval blockade "against pirate activity" is in order?

#6 Sounds like someone is holding the short straw, calling for "foreign fighters". You only do that when you're losing. I think the US should come to the aid of the TGF with a couple of carrier battle groups, some F/A-18 bombing raids, and an arclight strike down through the heart of Mogadischu. It would serve the Somalis right for the crap they put us through in the 1990s, under William "It wudn't me" Clinton. I'm sure a lot of "technicals" receiving 20mm gunfire would change a few "hearts and minds", one way or another. We don't need another Afghanistan. The sooner we put a stop to it, the better.
