TROP^tm alert …

And we say "oil and water don't mix;" clearly, neither do "Sharia and soccer," at least not in Mogadishu.

While the ICU has brought relative peace and stability to Mogadishu for the first time in years, residents say some Islamist militia are imposing hard-line practices like forcibly cutting hair and making women cover their heads and faces.

It's a little hard to know who to root for in this one. I figure that it'll be about 5 years before the UN wants us to fix it.

A Union of Courts fighting a guerrilla war? Remember folks, this is what will happen if we don't get the courts under control. They might just march to Washington and take full control of the government. /sarc
