Bagging the butcher

Al-Zarqawi is dead. Amen to that, brother. There will undoubtedly be many stories in the coming days about how it was a "mistake" to kill him; he should have been captured, and made to face trial instead of allowed to become a martyr. Don't fall victim to this line of thinking. The major news outlets need something to print, and can't really overtly celebrate the death of anyone if they are to remain "objective".

Al-Zarqawi will indeed become a martyr amongst his loyal followers, fellow insurgents, and blood-thirsty beheaders everywhere. So what? They are ALL walking dead-men as far as the coalition and Iraqi Government is concerned anyway. It's doubtful that sincere and peaceful Muslims the world over are going to rally to HIS death; he's done more to harm Islam in the last 10 years than anybody could do if they tried.

Go ahead, you remaining killers of children, and continue rejoicing at the martyrdom of brother Abu in the Jihad of your creation. Your voice can then become a beacon for the next laser guided bomb.
