| Al-Sharq al-Awsat op-ed on Zarqawi's demise |
| 2006-06-13 |
| Clearly, many in the Arab world were shocked by the death of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the "Boss of all evils" in Baghdad. The murderer of women, children, young and old, Sunnis and Shiites, Sayyids and Sheikhs, Arabs as well as foreigners.The masterminded responsible, for last year's bombings in Amman that killed sixty innocent people in three weddings., the man who couldn't tell the difference between bird hunting and cold blooded murder. His role as a corruptor was well documented, bearing in mind that his last message to the world encouraged civil war in Iraq. Yet despite all this, there are those who were saddened and shocked by his death. To them we should extend condolences. Our deepest sympathies go out to all the fundamentalist websites, particularly Alsaha.com. Our sympathies also go out to all the conspiracy theorists, who said that Al-Zarqawi was a fictional character created by the Americans, to justify their shortcomings in Iraq at the expense of innocent Iraqi and Jordanian lives. |

| #1 The ultimate symbol of Radical Islam, for both Radical and General Muslims + America, remains embodied in Osama Bin Laden. However simplistic, Osama is to Radical Islamism and Global Islam what ROBERT E. LEE was to the Civil War Union - destroy Lee and his potent Army of Northern Virginia and the South is defeated, and defeated regardless of any other Southern mil force in the field. OSAMA IS SALADIN = MAHDI = SULEYMAN, ETAL. INCARNATE, NOT ZARK OR ZAWI OR MULLAH OMAR, ETC. IOW, Osama > SYMBOL OF HOPE AND STILL-POSSIBLE VICTORY. The USA must quash that hope lest it be at the USA's peril. |
