Not that I love the New York Times
But at least it has got a heart.

Go online to the archives: there

Somalia is very close to the midle east and most of of the oil tankers go through the red sea and US wants to make sure that those oil tankers are not interrupted by any hostile govenment (presumably UIC). Successive US governments were involved in Somalia and due to trouble brewing in the middle east, US and the West want to get their hands on the untapped natural resources in Africa and any group that is a threat would be seriously dealt with. Hence, the announcement of the Africa Command. Finnaly, Alqueda is a smokescreen. The real agenda is grabbing resources and Global Dominance. Mr Eugene Gholz,
