This is an important fight for the anti Muslim Facist forces. If a country like Ethiopia can take care of business in their neighborhood, then maybe other countries will see that they dont have to lay down and accept these thugs when they begin making noise and threats.

I would consider an invasion to be a hostile action against the legal government of the territory. The Baidoa based government has allowed Ethiopia in to assist with removing the "islamic courts" thus it cannot be an invasion by Ethiopia.
