Oh, and forgot to mention;
Somalia's an even worse mess than Afghanistan infrastructure-wise. Not to mention Somalia has had even less of a government than Afghanistan for the past couple decades. That translates to a fuckton of re(?)building before anyone can start thinking of redrawing.
Another thing Somalia doesn't have: Strategic location. Afghanistan sits between Iraq (oil) and China (potential customers for that oil).
All Somalia can do with their location, is cause trouble with international shipping. And that trouble can be remedied (if not exactly solved) with convoys and armed guards, without any need to set foot on dry Somali land.
