#1 From there the Islamists have disappeared into the forests of Ras Kaambooni, close to the Kenyan border. Hussein Aideed, deputy prime minister, admits the government now faces a tough challenge.

#2 "Or you could declare war on the Hawiye, kill them all, and divide their goods and their lands among the other clans."

Yeah, but that would mean keeping all the other clans together, probably no easy feat. Betting on the strongest (the Hawiye) might be a good idea. Otherwise you need outside troops to help, and it looks like the Ethiopes wont stay long. That leaves the proposed African Union force. Who here expects them to be effective?
