Al-Q Honcho Hit

[npchilds at connect.ab.ca]

I think the point here, as it was in Afghanistan, was that the U.S. has
arrogated to itself the right to decide who is a 'prick' and who should be
'incapacitated' through the application of massive, indiscriminant force.
Is the world a better place with less AQ and Taliban running things? Yes,
I think so. Is massive, unquestioned force or missiles fired from drones
the only effective way to achieving that? No. Contrary to what the media
etc. would have us believe there are other options (and yes some would
involve force, that's not necessarily a bad thing) other than the course
the U.S. has embarked on for the foreseeable future.
As noted, the next Hellfire could be FARC and 'collateral damage' as
'terrorist targets', or somewhere Venezuela or the West Bank.
