Somalia is on the verge of becoming a "dangerous" country in the sense that Islamists and people with an history of violence are taking power. Somalia is closer to becoming what Afghanistan was before the end of 2001, a place where Islamists and people who have a beef with the United States can find refuge. The important question is this: By focusing exclusively on Iraq, is the US allowing other countries to radicalise and islamize and will Somalia be more dangerous than Iraq two years from now? Terrorists always profit from chaos and lawlessness, but they flourish in places where the power in place share their ideals and their values. Somalia is controlled by people who view the US as an threat to Islam and it is possible to guess by looking at History what they are going to be willing to do to eradicate this threat. What is the US going to do to stop them?
