Death Yay Death?

It’s been such a very long time since the last good news came from that God-forbidden situation we have allowed GW to create in Iraq. The last time that I felt even the slightest pang of joy about the whole thing was the day that the Iragi’s held their first free elections. But now I have to admit to you that I hooped and hollered, hearing that that fucking, God-damn rat bastard Abu Musab al-Zarqawi is dead. I am sorry to be so extreme, but I hope that, if there is a hell, his carcass is burning there to a fine crisp. Never has there been such an inhumane, vile person. Never have the dregs of society produced such scum. If karmic forces determine rebirth into different forms of life, I hope that he is the slug that some pre-pubescent rogue finds, saltshaker in hand. I haven’t sensed such an overwhelming sense of justice since Timothy McVeigh was exterminated (yes, even when I don’t even believe in the death penalty.)
You know how people wonder why bad things happen to good people? Well, at least one 500-pound bomb happened to a butcher today.

Courtesy of the Washington Post, I have here a list of the people of the world’s grievances with him. Please note the number of times "decapitated" and "beheaded" are used.
