Let these people solve their problems in their own way. Despite all we have been through, I think that the Nation's greatest threat is qurbojoog ideology. These ideas adopted from extremist liberals are a death knell to the restoration of what Somalis can recognize as Somalia.

Jaded SOL members tell him there is no hope because they enjoy bickering about the present. Coming up: Aristotle realizes that Somalia is hopeless because [sOL] Somalis are Masochistic & pessimistic individuals who get off on their on delusions and self-pity. There is hope Aristotle. There is hope. But if you want to keep it alive, stay away from SOL.

"I want to believe that Mr. Zizec's interesting thoughts don't imply that there has to be a pool of blood to be crossed on his way to socialism." This is one of the comments from the article and it happens to be the main criticism of the author i.e. a shift of power/(ruling ideology) can happen through peaceful means. I have to disagree. THERE MUST BE BLOOD.

A research done by a noted scholar found that over 90% of Canadian or American youth who joined Terrorist organizations were one way or another had issues either with law or failed to achieve any meaningful progress in their life. Venerable young men are lured to join gangs, how about if the gang offers money, marriage of a young woman, honor and heaven.. A great effort is needed to confront the ideology and money coming from the gulf, mobilize the young men and offer some hope. I think the way he describes is exactly how many poor people are used.Do you think Godane, Aweys and others will send their kids to be suicide bombers? no they use the poor. Factor this factor that. Why is it so hard to understand that these boys and men left the country because they wanted to engage in what they believed was a holy war? You can make up all sorts of reasons. But this is nothing more than NGO theory to get a couple more grant dollars. These men were well integrated. They saw people they identified with being attacked by an enemy nation ascribing to a foreign faith. They chose to go fight. They believed that such a life was more meaningful than getting an engineering degree. So let's stop pretending that these men/boys left the country for any other reason than to engage in what they believed was jihad. Perhaps, you can argue that they did not really understand the concept or made rash decisions. But one thing is clear. They left to fight BECAUSE they wanted to join an Somali-Muslim-militant group that was fighting against the political class and their Ethiopian soldiers.

^ agree. Unemployment has little to do with terrorism. This is the narrative that they use to make Western suburbia feel comfortable. "If only we could feed them, they wouldn't attack us." No. Terrorism is about what terrorists claim it's about, Religion.
