...will view them as invading troops," said Ahmed. "And we are ready to defend ourselves because we are not ready to be colonized again by any sort of troops in the world." Without those peacekeepers, however, the two sides seem destined to clash. A face-off would surely drag Ethiopia and Eritrea into a proxy--if not outright--war. The Islamists' stated aim to unite all of Somalia is believed to include the secular breakaway territories of Puntland and Somaliland, as well as portions of Kenya and Ethiopia.

This year, Democrats have had the wind at their backs all year long. Though George Bush is not on the ballot, his unpopularity is a drag on Republican candidates who are. Voters also tell pollsters they're distinctly pessimistic about the direction of the country and deeply skeptical about the conduct of the war in Iraq. All these forces have boosted Democratic chances for a takeover...
