I believe that Jeffrey Gettleman has said it all.

That the UIC have given the somali people what they were crying out for the last 17 years and that is peace and the rule of law.

However the United states robbed the little hope that the people of somalia had, and they immediately accused the UIC of being Al qaeda.

Even though the people who bombed the US embassy in Kenya, Tanzania were not even somalis.

So why are the somali people being accused and punished of by the US government of crimes that no somali has commited.
