U.S. support key to Ethiopia's invasion

By Barbara Slavin, USA TODAY
WASHINGTON — The United States has quietly poured weapons and military advisers into Ethiopia, whose recent invasion of Somalia opened a new front in the Bush administration's war on terrorism.
A Christian-led nation in sub-Saharan Africa, surrounded almost entirely by Muslim states, Ethiopia has received nearly $20 million in U.S. military aid since late 2002. That's more than any country in the region except Djibouti.
Last month, thousands of Ethiopian troops invaded neighboring Somalia and helped overturn a fundamentalist Islamic government that the Bush administration said was supported by al-Qaeda.
The U.S. and Ethiopian militaries have "a close working relationship," Pentagon spokesman Lt. Cmdr. Joe Carpenter said. The ties include intelligence sharing, arms aid and training that gives the Ethiopians "the capacity to defend their borders and intercept terrorists and weapons of mass destruction," he said.I could really use a fish right now

So I'm curious to hear what people have to say, in the interests of an informed, agreeable discussion. And hot topics in your part of the world might just not get a mention over here, obviously.

Shoot the bloody pirates. After they have shot enough of them they will hopefully learn to find other "jobs" to do, like farming or fishing.

Not to worry. The EU is now training Somalian government soldiers so everything will be ok soon. Right.
