The fighting in Somalia’s capital has been growing increasingly violent, with machine guns and rocket-propelled grenades launched by both sides. Tens of thousands have already fled, and hundreds more were driven from their homes today. Unfortunately, that’s nothing new in Mogadishu.

Nor is today’s report of a crowd dragging the body of an Ethiopian soldier through the streets.

How very surreal, to have just sat through two entire hours of evening news here in the U.S. and have not heard one thing about this horror. Evidently, most MSM believes that once Ridley Scott fictionalized a similar act against American soldiers, they don’t need to bother when it’s “just” a foreigner’s body being ripped apart.
