There is no "well they are TOO strong" argument here... Ethiopa would have backed off in the face of 100 US troops, let alone a bombing campaign.
But Somalia has no oil.

I think you forgot about Sudan and the Congo. And Sudan has oil too.
Look how our non-interventionist policies turned out though. If the bad people are killing all the good people, evolution will lead to more bad people and destabilized countries. If we intervene too much, Russia and China won't appreciate it however.
There are better 'options' to change the course of history without getting involved like we have in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Libya...
