Darth Zarqawi

With the murderous attack on the home planet of the Rebel Alliance, the powers of the dark side of the force became known in its fierce and brutal lord - Darth Vader. The Jedi Knights vowed justice and retribution. They quickly waged an attack against Lord Vader's adopted home planet, but the capture of the dreaded Vader proved more troublesome. It was as if he had jettisoned out in an escape pod and fled the planet. The Alliance's attention span is notoriously short, so the Jedi Counsel then tried to convince its people that they needed to go after the evil Emperor himself if this war against the dark side of the force was to be won. The emperor was the one arming Darth Vader, and his potential for death and destruction was well known, and he was becoming an increasingly bigger threat to the Alliance with his plans for a new death star of mass destruction. IF we wanted to end the terror of Darth Vader, we had to go after his dark lord. This plan worked pretty well, for a while, but we couldn't find the death star, we couldn't even find any connections to the dreaded Lord Vader. Eventually the evil emperor was caught by the mighty Jedi Knights. We were told that the Ewoks were dancing in the streets praising the liberators, but all too soon a band of reistance began to rise. The Jedi counsel assured us that this was merely a clone army of the old regime. Pockets of resistance began to grow. Daily we learned of new threats to the Jedis - could these be new apprentices of the dark side? They each seemed a real menace, but none proved evil enough to be a true Sith lord. Finally, a new Sith did appear Zarqawi an apprentice so ambitious that the Jedi's claimed he committed two notorious murders in a span of mere days - two murders that would make headlines across the galaxy for their sheer brutality and evil. Is this Darth Zarqawi the new lord of the dark side of the force? Can the Jedi Knights possible capture him and end his reign of death before the next counsel election? To be continued . . .

putting an old tape of Star Wars on and relax for the night. At least Lucas wrote very convincing fiction, unlike KKKarl Röve.

on Zarqawi that Bush* must be looking for a new bad guy to get the Murkens back supporting his war effort. The Star Wars analogy actually came to me when I heard right after the news clip of Zarqawi the claim that they had found Sarin gas too today - I thought of Sauron (sp) from Lord of the Rings - and for my geeky sci fi/fantasy mind, twas but a hop, skip and jump to Star Wars. LOL

Seems like this regime always needs a boogie man to blame. This wasn't indigenous Iraqis who were fighting to protect their homes, it was "foreign terrorists", like Al Queda was some corporation like a Halliburton (maybe it is).

Anyway, other than the fuzzy stuff that we've been fed by the regime about this man, is there any independent source that gives details about who he is?

A "super-hero" needs a "super-villian". Otherwise, theres no point to the "super-hero". (Also see "Canadian Bacon").

In the neo-con world, Bush is always portrayed as a "super-hero". Without a "super-villian" Bush looks all dressed up for nothing. Police can handle "ordinary" villians.

This is why I think they DIDN'T CARE about terror. They NEEDED a super-villian to make Bush's psuedo-macho, intellectually challenged demeanor relevant.

Bush has put "Saddam Hussein" away in the Arkam Assailum. So he needs another villian to conquer. Of course, Osama Bin Ladin is to Bush what the Joker is to Batman. He can't catch the arch super Villian. Then the comic book would be pointless.

Zarqawi is like the Riddler. He does puzzling things like announce his identity on a snuff film, but conceals his face. Kim-Jung-Il is like The Penguin. Yassar Arafat is like the Scarecrow.

Bush DOES lack the psuedo-female villain with thinly veiled sexual undertones. Perhaps they will out Condeleeza Rice and SHE will become Bush's Catwoman.

Bush and Cheney are like The Tick and Moth without the good intentions. ;-) Anybody want to photoshop that one up?????
