Jihadi Du Jour: Somalia must fight

Ethiopia comes to the aid of their neighbor’s fledgling government and defeated the Islamists. Now the tragedy commences. Ethiopia does not have the ability to stay and support the Somali government. They will have to withdraw soon. This is when the Islamists will return with a vengeance. The Somali government is not strong enough to keep them at bay. If the UN sends “Peacekeepers” into the region, things will get worse. The UN will want the Somali government to make deals with the Islamic opposition. This is unacceptable, but it will happen. Mark my words. It doesn’t take some world events expert to see what comes next.

History proves itself over and over. Only those that refuse to study and learn from history are doomed to repeat it. Unfortunately those of us who have no say in policy will suffer the consequences. This brief moment of victory will be replaced by despair soon enough. We have the will to fight back but lack the resolve to defeat the enemy. Islam is spreading, not because of military victories; in fact it’s quite the opposite. They are winning despite losing. It is the politicians and diplomats that are allowing Islam to win. Propaganda and victimhood is their main weapon. Despite murdering and torture they get the “world community” feeling sorry for them and vouching for their actions.

This is the world we live in. The wicked are cared for while the righteous are castigated. It is nice to see Islam on the run in Somalia. I will enjoy it while I can. What comes next will negate everything that has been done thus far. The enemy will be allowed back in and given cover under the “World Umbrella”. Somalia will be worse off now. The vacuum caused by Ethiopia leaving will create greater chaos than they have experienced so far. The Somali government will need help in fighting this enemy, not dealing with it. Then again, this is only applicable if you’ve paid attention to history.
