So it's over, then?

Wonderful news this weekend for the forces of justice and freedom! Not only have the western powers succeeded in killing the Mad Colonel's youngest son and some of his grandchildren, but the glorious and resourceful US military has managed at last to track down and kill Osama Bin Laden.

Walt is listening to reports on the ole rangdidio right now. A voice from Pakistan is saying that Bin Laden's whereabouts have been known since, errr, August. So it took only eight months to get someone in there to shoot a man who -- let's face it -- was already a has-been. His last words may well have been, "Hey, wait a minute. I used to be a powerful Muslim leader!"

"Justice has been done," claimed President Hussein Obama. And Americans danced in the streets of New York and Washington. But the killings of Bin Laden and the Gadhafis won’t be regarded as justice by very many Muslims. Rather, they will be seen as the latest evidence of arrogant, powerful infidels conducting a "crusade" against the righteous followers of the Prophet.

Will we have peace as a result of this weekend's strikes? If you believe that, I'd like to talk to you about some moose pasture in Minnesota. Rather than dying down, the war in Afghanistan will escalate, even as Obama tries to "draw down" the more than 100,000 U.S. troops he has deployed there. The blood-letting will continue.
