So your recommended course of action would be to hang around the hive,
identify and separate out the few bees that actually did the stinging, and
relocate these bees for punishment?

Now you've taken the analogy too far.
I was simply pointing out that we are undertaking an impractical response with
our determination to militarily subdue any and all countries where a terrorist
is reputed to live.

We will wind up with the rest of the world so ****ed at us, we won't be able to
kill terrorists as fast as they're being born.
That's what the terrorists are counting on, IMO. They expect the US to act like
macho cowboys, and so become our *own* worst enemy.
