I haven't formulated an opinion yet, he was obviously a monster, but HOLY COW, you know?! But man, thanks for that gif! I'm linking to it.

I think that's really terribly sketchy. How can we get pissed off when they put pics of dead Americans on the air and gloat over it, when we're then putting pics of dead Iraqis on the air and gloating?

well, zarqawi was jordanian, not iraqi, and i think the logic is that we are ostensibly fighting for noble purposes while he is a terrorist.

al-Zarqawi may have been a citizen of Jordan, but naming his faction "al Qaeda in Iraq" did give him a certain Iraqi legitimacy. Like a Massachusetts boy portraying himself as a Texan.

As for ostensibly fighting for noble purposes, I'm sure that's what the terrorists believe they are doing too.

being a terrorist is sort of a point of view issue.

I am sure some people would have considered George Washington and his crew "Terrorist".

the cover of the post is still insane.

That's what I was talking about in my last post. On one hand, you feel like, "Hooray, he's dead," but on the other hand it just feels weird to gloat about someone's death.

Seriously, if Osama died, I'll bet there'll be a parade in New York. Or at least, there should be. I bet the headline on the Post would read, "Burn In Hell, Fuck Face."
