Shaving My Shoulders

In another Biblical doubletake, Strategypage is reporting that Ethiopia and Somalia are preparing to go to war with each other. Strategypage is predicting an Ethiopian win, however, I would caution them that Sudan might intervien on behalf of their radiacal Muslim bretherin in Somalia. If the two sides unite and push the Christian Ethiopians back, we could well have a united pan-Islamic state on the Horn of Africa. Not exactly making it the nicest place for US or Israeli interests, to say nothing of what that would mean in terms of extending ties with Iran.

I would also suggest that people keep an eye on Egypt during this time. I don't know when it will erupt, but a civil war is brewing there too. The Muslim Brotherhood is becoming increasily violent towards the government in power and I don't think it will take much for them to try and take over the government. Especially if Hamas and Hezbollah are defeated in the war with Israel. Hamas is a direct offshoot of this group and they feel that Egypt should be in the war, hitting Israel from the south as Syria and Lebanon are from the north. I give the over-under on an Egyptian civil war 3 years.
