Congratulations, America! (Re: Zarqawi)

[dividebyzero]

Do me a favor...

If you get the chance on this historical day, crack open a beer, kick back, and thank our soldiers for ridding the earth of one of it's most despicable inhabitants.

Regardless of what you think about the war, or Bush, or anything else , if you have just a basic sense of decency and respect for life, be glad this poor excuse of a man is dead.

It won't end the war, but regardless of what side you're on, that's at least one more viscious, brutal, disgusting murderer wiped out of existence.

Congratulations, America.

Oh yah, Bin Laden has found joy in Zarqawi's death as well..

From the article...

"....they may hope that al-Zarqawi's successor in Iraq is more amenable to taking directions from al Qaeda central, which is located somewhere on the Afghan-Pakistan border. Viewed this way, al-Zarqawi's death could bring bin Laden some relief."

That's an interesting take, but even if it is true, it's still no more reason to wish he were still alive, anymore than it would be to say we shouldn't have declared war on Hitler's Germany because it made Stalin's life easier.  And Osama does go back to being Public Enemy #1, which he really has been all along.  We probably never even would've heard of Zarqawi were it not for our Iraq invasion.

I wonder what our count is now in that morbid Deck of 55?
