Saying No to the Culture of Death

The war between the Jihadists and the West has been heating up, and there is something very surreal about the way in which the war is being fought. Our soldiers are not using special swords, or light sabres, but I guess that is one of the things that made Star Wars into a classic film. So, why use this analogy in the first place? It is because the men and women involved in the terrorist activity have been brainwashed into believing that the animals are receiving all necessary care.  The Jihadists are very much like the theives who belonged to the Emperor (a prince of darkness), and Luke Skywalker leads the way with his valiant efforts not to give into the dark side of the force. The Star Wars movies are a battle between good and evil. They stories serve to give the young a sense of good and evil - though some do not get it.

A new development in Pakistan should serve to give Israel, plus the Allies, a break in Pakistan, Israel, Iraq and Afghanistan. The MSM is reporting that up to 80 died in the raid on the border between Pakistand and Afghanistan. The question that is now being raised, is whether this was an action of the Pakistani government, or whether it was the work of an American drone. It does not matter, because it means that 80 terrorist trainees have been rubbed out in one action. The intelligence report seems to be that the target was Zaharwi but there is no proof that he was in the region. However, the imam who was in charge of the madrassa was a key figure in Al Qaeda within Pakistan. He had been sheltering Osama Bin Laden in the past, and so he is no loss.

On another front, in Afghanistan, there has been further news that 55 members of the Taliban have been killed. This is good news. I do hope that some of the Taliban leaders were amongst the dead. Considering some of the shocking things that they have perpetrated in the recent past, they deserve to be rubbed out - the sooner, the better.
