Seoul has verified that they have found the beheaded corpse of Kim Sun Il, the man seen yesterday pleading for his life in a video released by the captors.
How long can this go on?
Posted by colrus at June 22, 2004 01:21 PM | TrackBackI've been spouting off lately about the threat of terrorism being like the Greek myth of the Hydra--everytime you cut off one head more grow back.
After finally researching the myth again it seems more apt. The site below mentions how Hercules' nephew "helped to cauterize the necks of the monster after Hercules cut the heads off."
Seems like if we had enough help fighting terrorism we could prevent its spread. We clearly don't and as it is I believe we are really making things worse.
Not saying I'm bailing on support of this administration, our troops, or anything else, but I believe the number of terrorists in Iraq has swelled since the war, not decreased. We seem to have had better success in Afghanistan, but we don't hear enough about it to really know.
I think this could sadly and sickeningly go on forever, as evidenced in Israel, Ireland, or other countries with ridiculous political problems that people can't work out by holding talks.
