al-Zarqawi is DEAD

Munk, Andy,
I'm glad, in a way, that you can find enjoyment in someone's death. There is certainly historical precdedence for that. I'm thinking about gladiators, Christians thrown to lions, etc. People do seem to like that sort of thing.
Now, I'm no pacifist and I agree, it is good he is dead so that he cannot do his work any more. I just don't want to take pleasure in it. At some point, he was a little boy who was loved. At another point, he made the decision to become what he did. After that, we had to kill him. None of it makes sense. Just can't be happy about it.

Shadow;

He is not our vanquished enemy in the sense you mean. He is a mass murderer who is now dead and won't kill any more.
It is good to see evil crushed.

EXACTLY! Very well put, Munk!

There are quite a few truly "bad guys" that I would relish in hearing about their deaths. This guy was one of them!

I'm extremely glad that this moe-foe is dead!

People that I'd feel similarly about if they were killed as well, would be other scums of the earth such as Iraqi born Al-Sader (spelling?), and Saudi born Bin Laden.

I'm not just "happy" to hear about this recent killing, it actually put me in a festive like mood. Yes, I said festive!


Funny about that Wizard of Oz tune you guys mentioned, because I thought of the very same one minutes after hearing about his death........... LOL! :)

I agree with what our top Government officials and Military personel are doing right now by being politically correct in not showing an excessive glee over this guy's death. But, we regular Joe American's and our allies, including any and all Iraqi's that are on our side, should be able to put political correctness aside to celebrate this animal being killed :)

PS.

The day I saw the video of Nick Berg (sp?) being beheaded, I could not help but crying.
Today, I'm all smiles! :) :) :) :)
 
Shadow?

I'm not happy that he's dead. I'm happy that he's stopped.

It would have been more satisfactory to me if he had acted in a manner more socially acceptable. Evidently this wasn't possible for whatever reason so now we're left with 500 pounders landing on a safehouse. The end result is the same, I guess.

Hatred is not an issue. Not an issue for me, anyway. It may have been an issue for him. If a dog gets rabies and needs to be shot, I don't hate the dog. I hate the fact that we can't cure rabies.

Very well put, Sir.

Just so that "my" position is perfectly clear...................

I "am" happy that he's dead! :D

We're all happy that the idiot is dead but you don't have to defile a religion in the process of expressing your glee.
 
i am glad he has ceased to function also. i hope we can cure his form of rabies less dramatically in future, but if thats what it takes, thats what it takes. he was an apostate to his religion and should get the punishment reserved for those who have renounced islam.

p.s. - good shot guys!

Dave is more practical than I. I am very HAPPY this practical matter has been settled.

We respected Rommel- he was a soldier. We do not respect those orchestrating concentration camps and mass murder. There is nothing in Al Queda I respect.
The Quran specifically forbids the murder of non combatants.

Sometimes the only way is a gun to the head;no justice;no trial;just death....

The problem with that, of course, is deciding who gets the gun to their head and being morally and legally justified in that decision. Whenever that trigger gets pulled and it turns out to be the wrong guy, the blood is not on the hands of the shooter. It's on the hands of everyone who placed the shooter in that position.

If we forget this, it will hurt us far more than anything that you're suggesting IMO. When we lose our humanity we cease to be human, no?
 
Looking back on what I wrote previously, I should also mention that "rabies" =/= Islam. "Rabies," in this case, is a metaphor for behavior so unacceptable that death is considered a suitable solution.

I have no problem with Islam, or most other faiths for that matter. I do have a problem with people blowing other people up due to a conflict that they have no active role in. That is not limited to insurgents, either.
 
Andy, something you said makes me understand you better. You said you help design weapon systems. So, of course you are glad to see your stuff work. I understand that. My problem is, I work in health care and I design and implement systems to help people get better. I do some research support, and also clinical systems. So, I get my satisfaction by seeing people live, and live well.
Amazing how your job can color your life, isn't it
PS-Please, Nothing in this post is to be taken as an insult to your field. I respect what you do, it is necessary and it is good that we do it so well.

Be careful not to take a correlation as a causation. The Nikkei had tumbled a big 3% before the news and oil may simply be responding to an adjusted demand outlook.

I'm not getting real worked up about this. The reason is that are hundreds more there just a goofy as he was.

I'm betting we see a retaliatory blood-bath within the next couple of weeks. Any takers?

Let's not be naive and think that because of his demise that the whole terrorism plan is going to collapse. It won't for many, many, many more years, if ever. Just look at how long they have been whacking each other in N. Ireland, and they claim to be Christians!
 
He is not getting taken down alone, they are taking down the entire visible organization. There have been 17 other raids today, and we will be hearing about more dead terrorist over the next few days.

I've re-read this thread. I understand all points of view expressed.

It is not "gladness" because a fellow human of differing political opinions has died. Politics aside, only a sadist/animal/mentally ill indivdual saws off someones head and films it. I did not despise him; I deplore his actions. A defective individual who has committed crimes; I am relieved he will do it no more.

And I'm STILL glad he's dead. I'm also glad is spiritual adviser is with him; it's a good idea to have one when you ARE a spirit.

Any spiritual advisor that tells you to go around cutting off heads is not giving you good advice, anyway.
