Celebrating a Death

It's not often that I celebrate a death, but Abu Musa'ab al-Zarqawi needed killin'. And apparently finally got it. With the cascade of top Zarqawi aides and regional leaders being killed, I figured it was only a matter of time until we got him, so long as he was in-country. Seems he was.

It's a shame that so many have died and much damage has been done already; worse yet, his "legacy" (so to speak) will continue to kill/destroy for at least some time.

Still, I suppose, "every little bit" helps (especially if it's "bit" that's actually kinda big):

IMSHO, methinks 'twould've been better if he could've been captured and interrogated, but in this imperfect universe, I guess we gotta get what we can, eh?
