Quote:Being the man Zarqawi was, he was asking for death. It's like getting rid of a cold virus; it needs to be done, but to take gladdness or even joy from another man's death is to give up some part of your humanity, at least that would be my reason.

I'm serious--why should I not be glad that he's gone? If for no other reason than that he had it coming to him.
If Mal had killed the Operative, there would have been that movie-moment of "Yeah! That's what you get- JERK!!!" But life and change and growth are what we should all be aiming at being glad for.

Kaneman,
You apprently didn't read my abbreviated list of Iraq's 'turning points'. My favorite is Fallujah. Remember? Taking it, way back in 2004, was going to 'break the back' of the insurgency.Quote:

And how's that working for you?

Hero, you're arguing in circles. You say that UN resoultions might be used to justify the war then you say they hold no standing. You say that war is internationally constricted by treaties and practicies and then you say that only an internal vote is needed to justify war. Stripping your argument of blather, it boils down to this...
Quote:So in your view if Germany had won WWII you would agree that it was a legal war. You would also agree that being a "legal" war (duly approved by the German political system and enforced by victory) that killing civilians would also be justified. In other words, might makes right. Democracy, liberty and the rule of law don't come into it. Just as I thought. Scratch a neocon and you'll find a Nazi.
I suggest the war was legal only because Congress voted to authorize military action*.... Now if another power... subsequently invades and occupies the United States then as happened following World War II they can dictate justice by holding the American leaders accountable to their own arbitrary standards that may or may not have existed prior to the conflict.

Why didn't the military think of that? If they had popped Zarqawi in the throat, dislocated his shoulders, and forced him to watch his own atrocities, I'm sure he would have renounced the Jihad and dissapeared.
Posters may not necessarily be celebrating Zarqawi's death. Perhaps they are celebrating the potential lives saved now that there is one less murderer around.
I believe in another thread you posted about your support of the death penalty. Why the sudden contradiction?
De-lurking to stir stuff up.

Quote:I support the use of vitamin-C, even though it aids in shortening the life of a cold virus too, what's your point?

Anything you must do to another human being that you wouldn't want a child to watch should be no cause for celebration.
Celebrating freedom from a bad situation is entirely welcome and understandable.
Seems like you're de-lurking to get yourself stirred up.

So by that logic, when the day comes and your little empire is beaten down and put in its place, that will be all and good too...
Hope for the future

Hero,
You seem to have a good idea of what it takes to overcome a major conflict...it's not something that just happens over night...yada yada...'you can't be wishy washy'...'you have to stay the course'
How come your so much better informed than our Administration was when they told us this might take a few weeks, and at the most 6 months?
You make it sound plainly obvious how ridiculous that would be...
yet you defend them at every turn(of the corner)
