#2 How about sending some equipment/instructors to Ethiopians instead?

We're already doing that, grom. That's what part of those 1600 SF folks are doing in Djibouti. What we want are 50,000 boots on the ground in Baidoa, driving toward Mogadischu with tanks and APCs. I'd like to see some surprise navy action, with F/A-18s blowing up mosques in central/southern Somalia at 3AM. Catch the bad guys while they're napping, more or less.
