#2 Maybe we should encourage President Ahmed to permit live-fire exercises by the US Navy in parts of his country. The Navy has been hard pressed to find usable live-fire locales lately. Somalia would be an ideal place. If a few Al-Shabaab happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, well, that's life.
