New fronts, new wars, new disasters

Will Somalia become the new Afghanistan (at least without opium)? Some people think so. I am not so sure but there is certainly a material risk of it happening as the "War on Terra" descends into, at best, a version of Whack-a-Mole and, at worst, farce.

Meanwhile back in Blighty the lame duck Prime Minister is urging his successor to ensure that Britain stays on the team by spending lots of money on defence allowing the country to continue to fight above its weight on the global scene.
