The Death of al-Zarqawi - A Welcome Boost to Morale

Thursday, June 8th, 2006 |

The news yesterday of the death of al-zarqawi was quite welcome, and I have to say, somewhat unexpected. I think the most important aspect of this, other than ridding the world of a bloodthirsty killer, is the fact that it is such a morale boost to the world, and most importantly, to the troops fighting in Iraq.

I understand that this is not a popular war, but it is accomplishing some great things. The most significant accomplishment is freeing the people of Iraq from the grips of Saddam Hussein, another bloodthirsty man. The troops stationed abroad are risking their lives, and some are even giving them up, to make Iraq, and the world, a better place.

I am a very patriotic US citizen - my brother is a Marine, and I completely support him, and the other troops stationed around the world. My brother is in the reserves, so he is able to go to school and work on his career, all the while being ready when he is needed. I am so proud of him, and the others serving in the armed forces. Because of them, we have been able to make the world a better place, by snuffing out one terrorist at a time.

al-Zarqawi was a man blinded by a mislead passion that lead to his downfall and eventual death. He deserves what he got - especially considering those that he tortured and killed. He now has to meet his maker and explain his actions. I’m sure he’s beginning to realize he’s not getting the 77 virgins he was hoping for. Instead, he may be getting 77 lashes…to start out with. I almost feel sorry for him, but then I remember all the horrible things he has done. Justice will be served. For a more detailed article on al-zarqawi, click here.
