Bashing the hornet's nest: the death of a madman

"Good news for America," says General Barry McCaffery.

Color me skeptical.

Don't get me wrong.  I'm tickled that one with such a vehement hatred of human life and freedom has met justice in this life even as he now in death meets with justice in the next (Hebrews 9:27), but I do not believe that his death will stem the tide of Islamic terrorism against the Christian, Jewish, and secular world.

We hit a hornet's nest with a baseball bat and killed the queen.  Think the hornets will be happy?

Another talking head just suggested that U.S. military action in the Middle East has revolved around getting this man.  That, boys and girls, is the problem.  Kill the queen and the hornets will make another queen.  And what about the hundred and fifty other hornet's nests that surround the house and even infest the house?

Until America and especially American Muslims begin to take a stand against that breed of Islam that wants to annihilate anything outside of Islam, we'll continue focusing on a single hornet's nest and then get stung very badly from places we least expect it (U.S. Army majors, Afghani "allies", etc.).

Consider the man who pushed whatever button required pushing to remove breath from this man's lungs.  He could have a gajillion dollar book deal and movie deal.  He would get ticker tape parades.  He'd be on every talk show and news show in America and Europe.  Problem is that if that man's name ever gets out, he'll have a price on his head and will have to live a life incognito.  Why?  Because bin Laden is not the problem.

During WWII, folks understood that if you took out Hitler, you killed Nazi Germany.  Militant, Koran-reading, Koran-believing, Koran-living Islam has no such figure.  It continues to spread in Europe and the United States, in prisons and in Dearborn.  These folks will not delight in their queen being squashed.

I hope I'm wrong.
