if I am not mistaken, the US is meddling because it is worried that Somalia will be taken over by fundamentalists and become the next al qaeda training ground. although i am no fan of US foreign policy, recent history in afghanistan does support their position on this issue.

solely blaming the white house or Adis Ababa won't accomplish anything.
