Fire of Liberty
I have to give two thumbs up to the Iraqi and American forces for their fantastic take-down of Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi yesterday. While the menace of terrorism still remains in Iraq, the death of Zarqawi and his lieutenants has got to have presented a real strategic setback for al Qaeda in Iraq. Hopefully the complete formation of an Iraq government(Iraq's PM Maliki filled the Defense and Interior Ministry posts) and this enormous blow to al Qaeda is the event that could propel Iraq forward on its path towards greater democracy and less violence in the future. So once again my prayers and hearty thanks go out to the Iraqi and American forces for taking a major terrorist out of the food chain. Here's hoping them good fortune in the future and their mission in Iraq.
I'd also recommend you read Mary Anne Weaver's wonderful article "The Short, Violent Life of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi" over at The Atlantic Monthly to get a detailed look at this horrible killer and our search for him in the wilds of Iraq. Also see here, here, here, here, here, for more.
