AL-QAEDA IS HARD TO DESTROY

The Obama regime has done a masterful job of killing many of the heads of al-Qaeda but, like the Phoenix, new jihadists are joining new ranks.  "First came the statement on 9 February by Osama Bin Laden's successor, Dr Ayman al-Zawahiri, that al-Qaeda had now merged with Somalia's insurgent group, al-Shabab." from BBC News, by Frank Gardner.  To read the entire article, click here.

Somalia is a hot bed of violent, angry and hungry men  We have read about their piracy but know little of the deprivations that have driven the outlaws to commit the heinous crimes of which they are accused.  Leaderless for far too long, the behave like the boys in Lord of the Flies. 

In a world that is bleak to young men, who see no future for themselves, it is easy to find the angry who are willing to join a violent, angry organization.  It does not take many to reek havoc on the world.  We have seen this in the past few years in which they have been organized under Osama bin Laden.It has taken 150 years for our own country to stop fighting the Civil War.  Why would we expect this group to stop simply because one leader has been killed.  The BBC printed this picture in Somalia which pretty much says it all.
