Well, the "as a Somali" part in your first comment tripped me up and I forgot that one can be both Somali and American!
I do see your point. Military force is never a solution against extremism bred out of injustice and desperation. Maybe the current US administration will act based on this understanding.
And nice use of Hindi/Urdu over there. Where did you pick it up? :)

I grew up with Amitabh and Dharmendra movies, from Sholay to Silsila to all the classics. The soundtrack of my childhood has been Mohamed Rafi, Asha and Lata. Then came the Khans, Sharuh, Amir and Salman. We loved them in Somalia more than anything else. Then in my teens I moved to Pakistan to study for my O-levels and A-levels and now I sing with the best of them "Sindhi hum, balochi hum, punjabi hum puttani hum .." :-)
Dekha ek khwaab to yeh silsile hue - that's one of the first songs I remember listening to as a kid! Glad to know our Ambassadors to Somalia were Mr. Bacchan and Dharam Paaji :)
No offense taken man and you've definitely been all over the subcontinent to the point of being an honorary desi ;)
