JOURNAL: The strong that fight the weak become weak
GLOBAL GUERRILLAS

Martin Van Creveld's famous dictum (the strong that fight the weak become weak) of modern guerrilla conflict is being proven yet again in Mogadishu Somalia (accelerated by globalization). Three months ago, a conventional Ethiopian army swept the Islamic Courts from power through a series of lightning assaults. Western governments applauded. The guerrillas reconstituted within a month. This week, a beleaguered and confused Ethiopian army is now facing charges of war crimes (in the EU) for the indiscriminate bombardment of civilian neighborhoods.
