America isnt helping somalia its destroying them.the islamic court union gave the somali people peace and unity...America need to mind there own business and stop destroying other countries and rebuilt there own country ..and stop killing innocent and using terrorisms as an excuse.
george , californa, america
If i remember right, its been Islamic Africans who have blown up Europeans in the past. Spain has its own terrorist problems they are too weak to handle. One bombing and they pull troops and kneel to the terrorists. I say the USA comes home, saves our money, and leaves Europe and the world to islam
William, Atlanta, USA
I wonder WHO authorized this strike by the US on the territory of a sovereign nation? Was this a unilateral act by the Bush Administration? Was it with Somalia's permission or at its request? Was there any consultation with Congress?
J-C, Los Angeles, United States
Having deposed the only stable government in Somalia in decades with the help of their Ethiopian clients America is responsible for many of the horrors which are occurring there now.
If Somalis see America as an enemy who could blame them?
martyn, calvia, spain
Guy, I'm not a left winger and I don't condone al-Qaeda. In fact, I abhor them so much that I detest their actions against non-Caucasian peoples, too. If this guy's victims did not include Americans and Europeans I am very sure he, as well as half an entire African village, would still be alive.
Joydeep, Delaware Valley, USA
With terrorists it's the same as with guerillas / partisans. You can kill as many as you want, they grow more. You have to find other ways to dry them out.
It's nonetheless satisfying news to hear one or the other top terrorist was captured or killed.
Sebastian, Dusseldorf,
Vaporise all terrorists. Private citizens & Governments should show extreme intolerance to all forms of terrorism.
Terrorists would not survive in Romania.

"We are alarmed by the growing pattern of intimidation of journalists by Islamic groups in Bangladesh," the committee said recently

When all people like Joydeep come out and in no mixed words make it clear that al-Qaeda are a disease that western civilisation needs to defeat then such military action may not be needed.
Another bleeding heart left winger who seems very silent about the abuse fundamentalist islamics inflict.
Guy, London, UK
Just another example of an extrajudicial killing carried out by the American military as long as it's done in another poor nation of dark-skinned people lacking the ability to retaliate. At least the French were humane in capturing Somali ship hijackers, using their weapons to disable vehicles only.
