Flame me but....I don't agree with celebrating al-Zarqawi death.

I understand that al-Zarqawi has been a major player behind the insurgency in Iraq.

As with any war, it is our obligation to do whatever it takes to silence the enemy.

However, I think it is a sad day when the world rejoices over the death of anyone. Bush stated that death has brought justice to al-Zarqawi.

I couldn't disagree with him more. Capturing al-Zarqawi and bringing him to trial would have brought him to justice. I don't believe that assuming the guilt of any man without a trial, no matter how guilty they may seem, is justice.

Basic human rights for any individual should not change under the guise of war.

I especially don't agree with celebrating his death as some type of victory. What exactly have we won? The insurgency will go on and al-Zarqawi will be seen as a martyr.

al-Zarqawi is simply a casuality of war but I see no justice or feelings of elation in his death.

The only way I will ever feel joy of any kind is when our troops come home.
