U.S. Raises Pressure on Kenya - WSJ.com

U.S. Raises Pressure on Kenya - WSJ.com: "The U.S. push in Kenya—a bastion of stability in an east Africa region that includes the war-torn states of Somalia and Sudan—contrasts with its more subtle approach toward neighbors including Ethiopia, an ally of the U.S. in its fight against terrorism that has been accused of human-rights abuses related to political violence."
For those looking for yet another analogy between the Carter and Obama adminsitrations, here we are -- putting pressure on a long time but imperfect ally, a relative beacon of Western values and relative stability in a troubled region, while coddling some horrible people a couple of hundred miles away.
