#1 From what I can gather, Badme is this sleepy little dusty town of 5,000 or so souls in the no-man's land between Ethiopia and Eritrea. Since it is on the undefined border that is the subject of years of war and eventually a border commission study, Badme is right in the middle of the border dispute.

Here is a website with more information on this dusty hole.

#2 Alaska Paul, looking at the website you provided has left me with the impression that we should have taken them up on their offer. Looks like a strategic local for a base. I'm sure the USMC would rather sit in Etritia than bob around on the Iwo Jima. Bet we can build a good facility and let everyone in Badme that wants to move, come to our base and run the exchange or local McDonalds. Let Ethiopia keep Badme. Even the ping pong table can stay. There will be a nicer life on our base. Its a win win.

#3 Badme sounds like the name of a very good whorehouse
