Alright, so I am gonna vent about the way we handled the assassination of Zarqawi:

Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi (I hope that I spelled that right): As I see people talking about his death on the news, I have to wonder whether they handled his death in an ethical matter (they being the government and the media.) I can't say that I am happy that he is dead. Death isn't something to rejoice in. But I do believe that it may have been a good step for the United States Armed Forces. What I do not agree with is the way that everything was handled. As much as I am sure that every citizen in the United States and other coalition countries wanted to see for themselves that Zarqawi is dead and that it wasn't a government poll raising stunt, I am also sure that the "enemy" didn't. Now I know that most people in the US do not care what they think or want, but consider this...

How do we like it when our soldiers and citizens are being beheaded or burned and it is splattered all over the media? We see these pictures and it angers us! We get fired up, we fight harder, our soldiers fight harder! So what do we expect them to do? They aren't gonna just give up because Zarqawi is dead. As my husband predicted, there was a successor named quickly and now we have another target, and the bombings won't stop...our soldiers are gonna continue being attacked. So what is the solution? NOT PLASTERING THE MEDIA WITH PICTURES OF DEAD IRAQIS! We don't like it, and they don't like it. Not to mention we have now painted him as a martar...good job US leaders...we just fueled their fire.
