Now there are conflicting reports about how Zarqawi died. An Iraqi eyewitness is suggesting that American troops found him alive and then beat him to death. [Read story.]An autopsy is now being done on Zarqawi's body, and the results might be announced as early as tomorrow. I'm sure I'm not the only person wondering if the Bush administration will censor the autopsy results.
But, in any case, he's dead. He is out of the picture, and he won't be able to abduct and behead any more people, at least not personally. That is very good. But I must ask: Now what?
Zarqawi is only a small part of the terrorism problem. Osama is still on the loose. And some believe that Zarqawi's "martyrdom" will give rise to renewed terrorist activity against Americans and our allies in Iraq and beyond.
The attacks will continue as long as George W. Bush continues to ignore the true roots of terrorism and hide behind the propaganda that they attack us because they "hate our freedom."
The attacks will continue as long as Bush keeps swaggering and smirking and taunting them with "Bring 'em on."
Zarqawi is dead, but I don't feel any safer. Neither should you.
