(CNSNews.com) - Thirteen years after U.S. troops were withdrawn under fire from Mogadishu, security and political analysts worry that the emergence of a victorious Islamist militia in the anarchic Somali capital may be setting the scene for a new, dangerous phase in the war against Islamic terrorists.
Somalia's fragile transitional government described the city's takeover by the radical Islamic Courts Union network as a positive development, given that the warlords defeated by the Islamists have caused chaos in Somalia since 1991.
Members of the government, which is located 150 miles from Mogadishu, began exploratory talks with the Islamists on Thursday.
Africa and some nations in the West also have been cautiously supportive of the Islamist takeover.
American Enterprise Institute scholar Michael Rubin observed that some news reports put a positive spin on the Islamist militia's victory, saying it may restore order in Somalia.

Well at least this article is calling them 'Islamic Terrorists' and not some 'Freedom Fighter' bullshit.
Now the idea of having Moon-Bat Muslims of the real crazy variety (All Muslims are crazy to some degree or they wouldn't be Muslims) in power is not just a bad idea, its a mistake of major proportions. I'm betting we have to go back into Somalia in a short while and this next time we better come in with both boots!
