The Afghan Taliban has warned that bin Laden’s death will only boost morale of insurgents battling the U.S. and its NATO allies.
A spokesman for SEAL Team Six today announced that in keeping with the administrations policy of cultural sensitivity, that they would immediately begin efforts to assist the Taliban to restore their damaged self esteem. One SEAL team member is quoted as saying “It would be our pleasure to help them with morale building. Just provide us with names and locations and we will do as much morale lifting as possible.”
So all the people dancing on the oceans cruise ships will be in effect dancing on his grave !
Thanks to terrorists, we are all going towards a Big Brother world. It’s pretty much a lose/lose sitution IMHO.
Still, I do not believe that terrorism goes hand in hand with religion. It’s more about some self important people (the ones pulling the strings) who will do anything to recruit young people by promoting excitement in doing covert things against “normal society”. I have met with some people of that ilk many years ago where they were recruiting all kinds of students for demonstrations, and they were planning to make these go sour. A secret kept from their recruits. Most of the people amongst the demonstrators did not even konw the facts about what they were “supporting”. Nowadays, they are using brainwashing on children to use as weapons.
We won’t ever see one of the “string pullers” blow himself up for his cause. The cause is nothing, where the manipulating is all-important.
I’ll just get off my soapbox, now.

Jean, That is an excellent observation. Of course if those string pullers blew themselves up the problem would solve itself.
