They are there almost certainly at our behest.

In general I agree with your post, but Ethiopia isn't invading another country to make us happy, they are doing it before they get squeezed by AQ.

Check this map out

If AQ controls Somalia, they basically are surrounded by Islamic fascists

Transitional Federal Government soldiers rest under a tree after arriving in Jowhar town 90 kilometers (56 miles) from Baidoa in Somalia, Wednesday, Dec. 27, 2006

Transitional Federal Government soldier stands on a truck with an anti aircraft gun after arriving in Jowhar town 90 kilometers (56 miles) from Baidoa in Somalia, Wednesday, Dec. 27, 2006. Clan leaders in Mogadishu on Wednesday were considering throwing their support to government forces who have advanced to within striking distance of this beleaguered capital, a move that would deal a blow to the Islamic movement that until this week had ruled much of southern Somalia. The city was buzzing with news of the approaching government soldiers, and Islamic fighters in northern Mogadishu were spotted changing out of their uniforms into civilian clothes. Women selling qat _ the leafy stimulant that is wildly popular among Somalis, but was banned by the Islamists _ were crowding the streets with bundles of the green narcotic.
