In this article the Editorial Board from New York Times, talk
about Al Shabab terrorizing and how America plays a part in this. As of last Saturday
the Navy Seals had done a raid on a Somali villa in an attempt to find a senior
Shabab commander and capture American commandos of a key terrorist suspect in
Libya. Al Shabab has been expanding towards Kenya and beyond do to Somalia not
having a central government for two decades. If the Kenyan troops that is part
of an African Union mission do not leave Somalia, Al Shabab threatens to
intensify attacks on Kenya. A month ago on an upscale mall in Kenya, Al Shabab
made a four day long terrorist attack which killed more than 60 people. Rumors say
that some of the Al Shabab attackers were Americans although this hasn’t been
proven. The author tells us that the Obama administration should cut off financing
for Al Shabab including fund raising in the United States. Some evidence that
the author presents show us that several Somali Americans have been prosecuted
for terrorist financing and some have been indicated on suspicion of traveling
to train and fight with Al Shabab. Also a Congressional Research Service report
said more than 20 young men from Minnesota are believed to have gone to fight
in Somalia. Strongly agreeing with the author, I also think that the U.S. has problems
of their own that can’t be resolved yet and don’t see the point in funding for
Somalia’s military. If even some of our people are in with the Al Shabab what
is being shown hear. Why are we helping someone else win a war or fight that is
not ours? Cutting off the funding for the Somalia military would help our
economy in many ways. I’m not saying not to help but its money that could be used
for helping our own people. They can’t win the war against terrorism in
America, gang wars or dug wars and they want to fix someone else’s war on
terrorism!!?
