You hit the nail right on the head .....
The USA, with the neocons running it till lately, could not accept an islamic gov .... They asked their christians friends ( Ethiopia ) to invade for them, while they shelled the country from warships ....
As with all that these guys touched, it failed ... and now it is worst then it was ... a bit like Iraq ....
You touch it, you break it, you pay for it ....
