That would be nice. Even in Somalia, an Islamic government brought peace after 16 years to the cities, opened schools, and started rebuilding local economies. Therefore it was declared an enemy of the United States. When US supported rebels could not drive them out, then a surrogate army from Ethiopia was deployed. Do you really think Ethiopia took on that war arbitrarily - in direct contradiction even to the UN? As a result, Somalia has returned to turmoil with refugees again fleeing cities in fear and into regions of drought and food shortages. Situation now so bad that refugees must even rent time under shade trees.

A nation that advocates torture in the name of a Christian god has again saved another nation from itself - for a 'political agenda'? This is the neocon agenda that also creates so much 'evil' elsewhere. The word hypocrisy applies.

Details of CIA, et al history are accurate in that it also explains current events. Another nation's people being told by American extremists what is 'good and bad' for them. Just another exmaple of the wacko politics call 'pre-emption'. We must save them from themselves; as we have in Iraq.

Just more reasons why a world is becoming more dangerous for Americans. Americans need not act according to Americans principles because a neocon 'political agenda' of pre-emption justifies all. A 'political agenda' justified by the righteousness of a Christian god.

No wonder the world is slowly sinking back into another cold war. Remember the source of that caution - the same person who warned of the destruction of the Oslo Accords and the mythical WMDs. Christian extremists want Armageddon. Their 'good' stated mockingly in the neocon vocabulary where everything is only 'good or evil'.

World wide instability can be stopped. But informed and intelligent people must mock and harass those who apply religious pagan beliefs into their 'political agenda' - even to pervert science. Those who desire Armageddon called themselves "god's chosen people" to even justify torture, international kidnapping, unrestricted wire tapping, and contempt for the American soldier. Some with so much bias as to selectively limit their knowledge of Persian-American history to minor events such as a 444 day hostage crisis.

How convenient that those same George Jr and Cheney supporters even ignore reality in Somalia. That is how one selectively rewrites history for a 'political agenda' - complete with denials of some CIA history.

Once upon a time, it was the American principle to get the people of a nation choose their own culture and government. That cannot be permitted when the cold war mentality of neocons must fix the world. A policy called pre-emption. Justified by bias from Christian extremist 'good' - such as torture, international kidnapping, and even "Pearl Harboring" a sovereign nation. As if "Mission Accomplished" does not sufficiently define their hypocisy.
