dust off the old "mission accomplished" banner, wave it around, and then put it back in the closet when the realisation is made that this means precisely dick.
so long as that power vaccume exists, who is in charge means nothing at all.
if not, then why did iraq not turn into paradise when we captured saddam?

The guy's a lot more forgiving than I would ever be.
Originally posted by MindshipI saw that photo and after seeing the explosion when the missile hit, I don't think there could have been much left of him from the shoulders down.
From the last photos I've been seeing, Zarqawi was looking a might chubby. I don't think it was bombs which killed him; probably the Big Macs he was secretly scarfing down.

Well, if by "others" you mean the same people that believe that God told them to attack the U.S., sure. Those are about the only people that are delusional enough to maintain such an opinion, even when they know they're totally wrong.

truth is a matter of perception. just because we know they're wrong doesnt mean they know they're wrong. and by 'they' i mean any fundamentalist wacko who celebrated the attacks on 9/11, which is a far greater number of people than the ones who actually carried it out.

To a lot of people, undoubtedly anybody who is killed by the US is a martyr. The woman and child that died when they bombed him, for instance.
