#1 Unify it in the population's hatred of the Turbans...

Other than that: not so much

#2 Unify?

#4 In places as bad as Somalia, I think the Islamistists might actually represent an improvement. Or they would if they didn't roll out the welcome mat when (rich) Arab terrorists come knocking. Is this crazy? Totally off-base?

#5 In places as bad as Somalia and post-Soviet Afghanistan, the Islamists appear to be an improvement. But then they turn out to be Muttawa bullies destroying in the name of religion all the good that had yet remained... and welcoming Al Qaeda with eager arms. Fascists don't change their behaviour, only their label.

#7 Actually, this could be the best thing to happen to Somalia. Let the Islamists loose on the Mogadishu population for a year or two, and they will be more than happy to rat them out at every turn to any intelligence agency that can get personnel into the area. Plus, they will welcome back to power any group that can break the back of the Islamic Courts. Sometimes, you have to let them drop into Hell, so that they can appreciate the relatively good life.
