Its a real shame she never denouced what Bush has done in somalia by arming and financing Ethiopia which has always been a rival of somalia to invade and occupy that country.

Its not good for the US and its not good for somalia to hve allowed ethiopia to invade and kill 25, 000 people and displace 1.5 million from the capital over the past two years.

Somalis feel that they can no longer trust the US and view the US with deep suspicion and mistrust that is almost equal to that of Ethiopia.
