First of all--what "imperialist interests"? Somalia? What would imperialists want with Somalia--bananas? Honestly. Somalia is purely a peacekeeping mission and has done nothing to promote violence--US and UK intervention along with the help of other allies has probably saved hundreds and hundreds of thousands of lives. Haven't you ever watched Black Hawk Down or read the book?

If Iran wants to mediate, fine. Even though I have no doubt they'll take the side of the ICU/insurgents. Its their chance to give themselves a better name, hope they dont blow it.
