Somalian Taliban Marches on
Remember, the Washington Post and some in the State Department are saying that the Somalian Taliban might be just what the Horn of Arfica needs to bring 'stability'.

Somalian Taliban Break up Wedding, Flog Party Goers. Newsday:
The Islamic militiamen controlling the Somali capital broke up a wedding celebration because a band was playing and women and men were socializing together, witnesses said Saturday, describing the latest crackdown by a group feared to be installing Taliban-style rule in this African nation.Oh, and the Washington Post also made the asertion in an editorial masked as a news story that the African Taliban posed no threat to the U.S., had no ties to al Qaeda, and that the civil war in Somalia was a big misunderstanding. WaPo said it, so it must be true....The Islamic fighters beat band members with electric cables and confiscated their equipment, said Asha Ilmi Hashi, a singer with the group Mogadishu Stars.
We had warned the family not to include in their ceremony what is not allowed by the sharia law. This includes the mixing of men and women and playing music"
A recruiting video issued by militia members and obtained by The Associated Press this week shows Arab radicals fighting alongside the local extremists in Mogadishu, provided the first hard evidence that non-Somalis have joined with Islamic extremists in Somalia.Echos of Afghanistan via Somalinet:
The Islamic court in Jowhar town 90km (55miles) north of Somalia capital Mogadishu has carried out an Islamic verdict, whipping 11 young men with 40 lashes each in public square on Saturday – a move that frightens more residents.The Somalian Taliban marches on while the world sleeps.....

The problem now is getting action. It is becoming blatantly obvious that the China and Russia alliance in the U.N is one of mutual benefit, by liberal exercise of their veto power to block the U.S at every turn, they believe they can both force the U.S into unpopular action (e.g be seen to be acting unilaterally) and neuter America's power internationally, by ensuring all U.S foreign policy ran through the United Nations is continually defeated by their veto.
If you look at all of the blocking attempts placed by these two nations: North Korea, Sudan, Iran , Iraq and Syria it's easy to see how they are attempting to stop the U.S at every turn.
China has invested Billions of dollars in the Somali oil fields, as soon as the U.S requests action, they'll veto it.
It is going to be next to impossible to stop being deadlocked by either nation in the U.N, John Bolton seems to have the right idea, by forcing them to publically veto the North Korean resolution, despite every other nation condemning the missile launches, but it seems rather risky to roll the die, and see if you can embarrass them into not using their veto power.
