Three Women and a Child Dead With Zarqawi
On Thursday CNN asked Americans what they thought about Zarqawis death. It seems like most people are happy, they are almost rejoicing now that this evil person is dead. But I don't think it was right to kill Zarqawi. Detain him, maybe, but not kill him. It doesn't seem like violence is the solution here. Revenge begets revenge, and this will only make Zarqawi's followers hate us more.
We couldn't even kill just Zarqawi. We had to kill a girl and three women along with him. We couldn't even do a clean job.
But that's beside my point. My point is that killing Zarqawi probably wasn't the best option we had given our information (his location, and presumably the means to get there). We're probably just fueling the conflict, not abating it.

But, how could we detain al-Zarqawi? If we could have done that, I think that we would - and, medics were attempting to revive him at the scene.
It's true that killing him did fuel anger towards the U.S. However, it also lessens the sectarian violence, for now - and this is a good thing, since sectarian violence has been one of the main reasons that no progress has been made for a long time.
See I think the problem is that we don't think bigger picture. I mean, for now you're probalby right, this might lessen the sectarian violence, but in the long run this will probably only make the violence worse.
