As an informed member of the wired world (?), I though you could have done better assessment of the situation instead of the obviously false and misleasind statements you made above. America is broke brother (don't tell you don't know that fact)...
Though the rationale behind creating this definitions of moderate, radicals/fundamentalis, secularsist traditionalists was just a tool to implement the classical colonial divide and rule policy, because as we all know in Somali religion has never played a domininant political role historically speaking (relatively news to this aspect) however, the clan takes the centre stage in Somali politics.
The policies pursued in Somalia by western countries is hybrid, countaining an elements of the clan (playing hawiye card) but giving it the cover name of moderate islamist.......you got me boy armed with half info...
I would very concerned if I was living in Somalia at the current state of affairs and it's firm firm believe this dubious policy will fail as the rest of ill informed policies have done in the past....
