Bin Laden's 'return'

http://www.NewsAndOpinion.com | So Osama bin Laden is alive.


I' ve gotta tell you, I'm disappointed by the news. I'd been hoping that he'd already begun sampling his eternal reward.


But the announcement of his survival reminds us of several important things. First, evil exists: Despite bin Laden's ritual invocations of the Creator's name, he is evil - bin Laden that is. He's a rich sociopath who equates wanton slaughter with saintliness, and seems unlikely to repent his sins any time soon.


Second: Politicians will demagogue anything. As a result, members of Congress mostly Democrats cited bin Laden's continued existence as a reason for trashing the president's foreign policy - keep in mind virtually all of these critics praised the president's foreign policy during the campaign and supported it with their votes.


Third: Terrorism operates only in shadows.


The only way to win the war is to remove the rocks or Iraqs that shelter murderers. These guys can't stand the light. Finally: We're past being scared of this guy.


If he hits us again .... Well, you know.
