I could have left the nest alone, and prayed that my family would not be harmed by the hornets, but I did not want to take that risk. And, yes during the process of ridding my yard of hornets they all banded together and during those moments the risk of getting stung was highest. But now the risk is minimal.
We did not need a report to tell us that if we go to war, enemy activity/recruitment/etc. will go up during the war. We can not measure sucess or failure until after the war.

Actually it's more like there was a hornets nest that you originally put in place to deal with communist bees (like that was ever going to work). So anyway the communist bees lost, but the hornets, with your economic and military aid, became quite powerful. Eventually those hornets start bombing embacies and even a US destroyer - these are serious hornets. Finally 9/11 happens and you have to take action. You go after one of the trees that the hornets nest in, let's call it Afghanisan, and you basically blow up the entire tree, killing not only the hornets, but the innocent birds, woodchucks (how much wood could a wood chuck chuck?), and squirrels. After that, you attack a tree that somone said had links to hornets, but really didn't. You go after the tree, but the birds and rodents that live in that tree fight back and you end up spending tons of your own time and finances on the war on this tree, let's call it Iraq. The problem is that attacking the Iraq tree galvanizes the whole ME forest into hating you even more, and you see hornet attacks increase 5 fold.
This is getting bizarre. What was I talking about again?
