Ding dong! The witch is dead!

Last week, I was overjoyed to see that abu musab al-zarqawi is dead. I generally like driving to work, but I usually take the subway, because I don't want to pay $11 (plus tip) to park every time. I drove on Friday, but that day I would have been happy to take the subway to see all the people on the train reading newspapers with this image spread across the front page:



I saw the newspaper on the desk of a colleague when I arrived to my office that morning and proclaimed my happiness. Much to my chagrin, we argued why this person is bad. He gave me one of the the lines that I hate that people give me: "It depends on whose definition of bad is." Huh??? I'd say "bad" is everyone's definition when you see someone beheading innocents! Folks, when you read someone was beheaded by these madmen, we're not talking about a guillotine. These animals use a knife and saw the heads off while the victim is alive. I would go into more detail, but I won't fearing this blog would be blocked by content filters that companies install on their network. These graphic beheadings on the Internet is what made little abu famous. I am generally numb when it comes to looking at gore, but when I saw the video of ali baba zarqawi slicing Nick Berg's head off with no emotion, I was stunned. The image didn't and couldn't leave my mind for a week. And now my coworker is arguing if he's bad?

I strongly warn you on how graphic it is, but if you haven't seen the video, go here to see it. It's highly ironic how they do this while yelling "allah akbar." Translated, this means "god is great." I don't think God thinks this act is great.
