The notion of complex and highly nuanced (didn't I say this before? maybe
somewhere else...) cultures, issues, religious beliefs, to say nothing of
actual individual people, being able to be explained in charts seems naive to
me.
I doubt that flattery, aggravation, or appeasement are the only options in
conflict.

Julie, what do you mean here? I assume you are being ironic but I don't
understand it.
Regarding Somalia the NYT is _reporting_
(http://www.nytimes.com/2006/12/30/world/africa/30cnd-somalia.html?_r=1&hp&ex=1167541200&en=bbc3277a0a2db50b&ei=509

Kismayo, the Islamists' last city. It is too early to call this a complete
victory
but the Ethiopians are hard charging on this one. _Money quote_
(http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/world/la-fg-future29dec29,1,5862887.story?track=r
ss) : "It's self-defense," said Amare Aregawi, editor of the Reporter
newspaper and a former rebel fighter. "People always say, 'Don't touch the
terrorists. You'll aggravate them.' What are we supposed to do? Flatter them?"

I'm waiting for charts on Somolia, Darfur, Gaza, Timor, Indonesia (Sri Lanka

least 3-D topical, political, and physical graphs color-coded in streaming
video from a sattelite, I'll try to figure out who's right, who's wrong, who's
been naughty and who's been nice, who to vote for, and to what charities to
contribute.
