The Ethiopian army, in support of the powerless transitional government, had driven the Somali fighters back to their stronghold and the nation’s traditional capital after a wave of devastating attacks.

Never commit to a major action against superior weapons. Conduct terrorist raids from hiding. Operate in small loosely connected groups for added security. Make the enemy expend it’s wealth and resources looking for and killing small targets. stay the course. In time the enemy will lose the will and resources to continue. So what is the Industrial nations to do? Assure a fair dispersal of resources. Be pro-active in specific locals when extra assistance is needed. Oh, stop the manufacture and sale of small arms and explosives in all countries. Forget about the Nuclear threat, it’s the AK 47’s stupid!
