Somalis protest after U.S. missile attack
Source: Reuters

MOGADISHU (Reuters) - Hundreds of residents of a remote town in southern Somalia staged an anti-American demonstration on Tuesday after the United States launched an air strike against "a known al Qaeda terrorist" there.

The town of Dobley was hit by two missiles on Monday in the fourth U.S. strike in 14 months against Somalia, where Washington says local Islamists are sheltering wanted al Qaeda leaders.

Demonstrators in the small town on the Somali-Kenyan border said 600 people took part.

"We don't want the Americans because they are against our religion and culture. Down with America," shouted Mohamed Deq, one of the protesters.

1. How many new terrorists did Bush create?
Bush is determined to engulf the entire world in war before he leaves office.

2. What?...they don't like their new democracy we are bringing them?
We couldn't just sneak in...kill the sucker, and sneak out? I mean that's bad enough. But instead we blow up half a block of buildings to take out one "king pin". How many died besides the target in that "collateral damage"?

Damn, our government is one DMF.
