CNN readers NOT Impressed with Zarqawi's death

http://www.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/meast/06/08/feedback.zarqawi/

I was impressed with how realistic many of the CNN readers are, his death means nothing, just martyrdom and increased violence. Now, if only our fearless leaders would realize this fact :) Peace!

We've turned so many corners, our "road to Democracy" looks like Lombard street (going downhill, of course).

8. No no no....

You're not hip to the new lingo. His death has helped to "turn the tides" in the Occupation of Iraq.

2. So he's allegedly dead.

Now there's at least one other Number Two man in Al Quaida. Probably more like five - all itching to prove their worth. It means nothing.

3. It's the "They Killed Kenny" syndrome.

After the first fourteen times his death was reported, most people developed a ho hum attitude. They just cried wolf too many times.

ouday/Quasay, etc. come to mind.

10. BushMedia claims they will be afraid to step up and lead Al Qaeda now

What dumbasses! Do they really think people will by that one? There are martyrs lined up around the world thanks to BushCo and BushMedia.

Like the mafia, there will be another and another and another... You can't end hate with killing. The father of the man whose head Zarqawi sawed off said that Bush's policy of vengeance has failed. That we need to try forgiveness. He effected me with that statement, like getting a gift.
