Comforting the Enemy

I chatted with an articulate young Somali cab driver yesterday on the way home from Sea-Tac, and he convinced me to pay more attention to what’s going on in Mogadishu. It seems we’re not just winning hearts and minds in Baghdad these days. US troops are helping spread peace and democracy in Muslim neighborhoods all over the world.

Is Mogadishu the next Baghdad? Or was it the last one?
