Ethiopia invades Somalia

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

Nothing much new today save that the total of confirmed dead is now over 200, with civilians suffering much worse than the fighters on either side.

I like how Ethiopia invaded the country with little to no justification, and are now shelling civilians, and yet they are portrayed as the good guys by the media. I hope these freedom fighters can drive them out.

Even a quite critical piece I read a while ago in the Frankfurter Rundschau insisted on calling Meles the "President" while referring to Isaias (of Eritrea) and to Siad Barre in the 80's with the term "Dictator". (Of course, the descriptions are "correct" - they'd just be just as "correct" if the were reversed.)
But hey, they're allies in the War of Terror. That's all that counts.

That's because those whackjobs they're fighting who killed people for watching the World Cup are FAR worse. I don't who does it, I just want them wiped out.

Which of course is exactly the attitude to which Al-Qaeda etc owe what popular support they have.
