POPSNew attacks in southern Somalia The Title should read "More Recruits to AlQaeda on their way!" Because this is effectivley what the stupid US government is doing. Creating more and more enemies. Unless the american people remove this government things will only backfire onto them, and it may be them who would end up paying the price, not the president and members of the government.

POPSAn unbiased primer on Somalia events-- FULL STORY AT SITE-- There is a lot of incomplete,one-sided, or downright misleading information out there. After seeing an interview with a certain journalist this morning, I saw that the general knowledge of events in the horn of Africa was one more case of an appearance that mainstream media was trumpeting what many would perceive as a pro-American propaganda --with admittedly limited information-- taking up most of the oxygen,thereby leaving the few available spaces for alternate "views" to come squeaking through.

POPSIslamist seize town in Somalia - (the next front) I have tagged hundreds of articles "war on terror". Given the fact that I think we have pretty much won the war on al Queda and terror in general, I think the war on terror is a misnomer. Perhaps "emerging threat" , "world war III", or " war on Islamic Fascists"... ???

POPSSomali anger over World Cup ban Residents are angry at apparent moves by the militiamen now patrolling the streets to close down cinemas whose proprietors had arranged to show satellite television pictures of World Cup matches taking place in Germany. It is not clear whether the new Islamist rulers in the city have a problem with people watching football. Their spokesman, Sheikh Abdulkadir Ali Omar, indicated to the BBC it was the cinemas that were being targeted because they also showed Western and Indian films that the Islamists say are corrupting to the young.
