The world gives up on Somalia
The UN Security Council passed a resolution sponsored by the US authorizing land and air military attacks against the pirates of Somalia.
What's notable to me is that this seems to represent containment of international spillover rather than any effort to save the Somali state. After 18 years of trying, the world appears to have given up on Somalia.
(The Ethiopians are scheduled to pull out by the end of Dec.)
