I opposed ethiopian aggression and if you see any inconsistency in my position, refer to Robert Cooper, Tony Blair's advisor and current chief strategist in the EU. "The challenge to post modern states is to get used to the idea of double-standards", he said, and I think Somalis need to get used to it, for it is a fact of life we cannot avoid. Anyway, simulating nationalism at this critical juncture in the fight againt evil islamists is hypocratical. The Alshabab are a cancer and the ailing people of Somalia would welcome anyone who contribures to uprooting them. I am not sure I would have minded if Ethiopians came back and did this too now. But everyone understands that there is fundamental difference between the actions of kenya and Ethiopia. One regime's political survival depends on turmoil in somalia and therefore is actively working to prolong anarchy in Somalia, while democractic Kenya hasn't yet shown any tangible destablising actions in somalia. If at all, it is a victim of cross-border piracy and kiddnappings that are threatening its security and economy. Let us be fair, Somalis. ^ Ah but what about Somaliweyn and occupiers of Somalis? Aren't Kenya and Ethios equal in that regard? I can understand Tony Blair's "double-standards" because they serve his interests, what interest have you (read plural including the your Tolkas like Zack ) in separating Kenya occupation from that of Ethios? As for the Kenyan incursion itself, if it about showing the world Kenya has taken action against the folks threatening tourists then it is wrong move. This will has only brought bad "war" publicity to country most saw as stable. If - on the other hand - this about creating a friendly clan buffer Zone for Abtigiis and Tolkis on the Somali side of the border, time will tell but my guess is it will only complicate tbings in an already difficult troubled land. Judging from the opposing noises coming from the TFG, they believe the later being the Kenyan motive.

Pires also "managed to take the country out of poverty," Ibrahim said. "Cape Verde is the second African country to be taken off the list of the least developed countries by the UN. This is a country with no natural resources, no oil, no diamonds, nothing. This is a small country that has demonstrated without natural resources, but with good governance, they can really move the country forward." Impressive stuff. Tiny population and lack of resources is no excuse afterall.

Jacpher, I don't think they (the actual bombers) do it because killing themselves that way is fun.

Surely the religious principles in whose cause alshabaab fight and die does not condone such an evil act. So in the face of bewildering alshabaab actions and the contradictions it presents to its political manifesto, which is Islamic in nature, I pose the question to the gallery: why would they do it? I think they justify the mass murder by declaring even the civilians living in the TFG-controlled zones as apostates. Just see the the thread below. http://www.somaliaonline.com/community/showthread.php/59254-Gaa-lbaad-tahay-hadad-dhanka-dowlada-uguurto?p=748044#post748044 That comes from someone who lived in London till recently and with family still here. If the killing Muslims living in Muslim lands could be openly justified like that, what hope the rest of us? AUN the victims.

^ So the BBC's Science web page is sensationalist pop media? If it's BBC itself you have issues with, why did you post its video clip in the first place? Hypocrisy at its worse. Pop media or not, the people quoted in hundreds of articles are not "faithful" nobodies as I'm happily branded by the Godless. Nor are they "Science Donkeys". They're famous renown Physicist (not some SoL guy who claims knowing what he's talking about) who made up their position clear should the results be confirmed. Like it or not, that's how things are. PS Your "knowledgable" SoL lines are direct quotes from the same news articles so give it a rest.

A meeting at Cern, the world's largest physics lab, has addressed results that suggest subatomic particles have gone faster than the speed of light. The team has published its work so other scientists can determine if the approach contains any mistakes. If it does not, one of the pillars of modern science will come tumbling down. Antonio Ereditato added "words of caution" to his Cern presentation because of the "potentially great impact on physics" of the result. The speed of light is widely held to be the Universe's ultimate speed limit, and much of modern physics - as laid out in part by Albert Einstein in his theory of special relativity - depends on the idea that nothing can exceed it. Continue reading the main story “ Start Quote We want to be helped by the community in understanding our crazy result - because it is crazy” http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-15017484 If the Europeans are right, Einstein was not just wrong but almost clueless. The implications could be huge. Particles that move faster than light are essentially moving backwards in time, which could make the phrase cause and effect obsolete. "Think of it as being shot before the trigger is pulled," wrote University of Rochester astrophysicist Adam Frank on his NPR blog. Or, as Czech physicist Lubos Motl put it on his blog, "You could kill your grandfather before he had his first sex with your grandmother, thus rendering your own existence needed for the homicide inconsistent with the result of the homicide." The evidence for this complete upending of modern physics and cosmic decorum comes from an experiment involving two top-notch physics installations. The first is CERN, the European Center for Particle Physics, near Geneva, where a particle accelerator created the swarm of neutrinos in the first place. These bits of matter are bizarre no matter how you look at them: they're so elusive that one of them could pass through a chunk of lead a trillion miles thick without a bump. http://www.time.com/time/health/article/0,8599,2094665,00.html The beeb and Time for you.

Gaas says Somaliland part of Somalia Waa waraaaaaay! Since when?

Oh Aaliyyah, forgot to tell you about the Cidagale bariis last weekend. Yum yum.

Prom, it is the likes of you who try to claim science as a property of only kaafirs, so don't despair when the fundamental pillars of your faith are called in to question. What's is clear to anyone - even passive follower of this story like myself, you and the other fella have trying to downplay the significance of discovery's confirmation. The question is why? I can understand why Jerusalem Post is negative, but why you? I'm prepared to wait for further research without making my mind either way, why is your buddy Qarnaqsi (ms noma iyo nus) already saying "it won't shatter anything; even if it turns out that neutrinos do travel faster than the speed of light"? Is this not blind faith? The Qur'an describes some followers of the "bible" with the parable of a donkey that is carrying what it doesn't know. Looks like science's miseducated fools are no different.

This lovely man was in London a weeks ago and I made sure I had the privilege of getting one of his famous hugs. A fiend was telling me he gave a Jumca Khutba in SE London and mentioned he met a certain Somali politician in Nairobi and asked if his people were good people and Muslims why they were killing each other? Waa suaal weli tagaan? PS Maaddeey, this video was posted in here not too long ago. Waa ayaamihi aad dhufays faruujis ku mashqulsanayd baan umalaynaya.
