Justice, Revenge and Foul Shots

al-Qaida Leader Killed Today
Abu Musab al-Zarqawi was killed today in Iraq. The man that was allegedly called the "Prince of the al-Qaida in Iraq" by no other than Osama. The United States military dropped two five hundred pound bombs on a residence in which he was holed up in. I'm wondering why the regal state of the US has turned into ruthless killers? Dropping two bombs that big has to kill an auwful lot of people. While watching a news broadcast on the killings I even heard it mentioned that a timely strike wasn't needed because they had a lot of time. Why not bring in some troops and attempt to bring him in alive. I thought the American form of justice was that all men deserved a fair trial. Well, he didn't get o. Is it an attempt to keep him quiet? If you look at the picture below you will see the 'westernmost of al-Zarqawi'. Wow that sounded like an album name.



If al-Qaida operatives all looked like this picture on the right no one would even be wary of them. Instead they look like the picture above when they appear in videos. Why not look clean cut? Is it to add to the war propaganda. In a published report one Sunni insurgent leader claimed on 11 December that "Zarqawi is an American, Israeli and Iranian agent who is trying to keep our country unstable so that the Sunnis will keep facing occupation." Isn't it funny how many people who are in leadership roles in the al-Qaida have CIA links? Wouldn't a Sunni led government be a thorn in the side of the US even more so than Saddam? So many questions but no answers.


Is the Hit On Zarqawi a Revenge Killing?
The father of West Chester native Nicholas Berg, one of two American civilians allegedly beheaded by Zarqawi, has weighed in on the killing of the al-Qaida leader. In an interview on ABC Michael Berg has said that today was a day of REVENGE, and if revenge is a motive of both sides of the war it will only deteriorate. "Zarqawi killed my son and he looked at him. Zarqawi felt my son's breath on his hand as he held the knife against his throat. Zarqawi had to look in his eyes when he did it. George Bush sits there glassy eyed in his office with pieces of paper and he condemns people to death. That to me is a real terrorist. George Bush terrorizes with air strikes, air strikes, indiscriminately killing people. To me that is a big terrorist." Berg is currently a Green Party canidate in Delaware.

NBA Finals
Why can't Shaq shoot foul shots yet? Doesn't he realize that when he is fouled free throws are free shots that can't be contested? Why does he act like there is a man in his face when he shoots them? If the Mavericks win the series the reason would be foul shots. I guess you can have the most athletic team and still lose. If you are reading this and you are 7'2'' 300+ lbs, practice your foul shots.
