I AM DISGUSTED
The image “http://www.rotten.com/library/bio/crime/terrorists/abu-musab-al-zarqawi/zarqawi-large.jpg” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.
First of all, may I say that I was going to get rid of this blog AND the one over at 27 because I was disgusted with 20six for not listening to us original bloggers and doing all of these changes.
I hate losing Concorde in the background and all of my friends in my favourite lists - It is funny really because I still have my 'outside' links and yet I lose the people closer to me!
Obviously, 20six still have this in a beta format and have not finished because we must re-arrange our writings every time that we want to write a new sentence.
ANYWAY
I cannot stop writing when I feel that I have things in my mind that I feel MUST be written - You can't keep a good man down.
RIGHT
I have been TOTALLY disgusted with the Western press today over the glorification of the death of Abu Al Zarqawi who was the leader of Al Qaeda in Iraq and even showing pictures of his dead body on the television!
I find this to be revolting and sends the wrong message to EVERYBODY on all sides
YES
Of course the guy had to be caught because he was totally evil but he should have been put on trial like Saddam Hussein, (who by the way, I still hope is not executed because I cannot agree with one human killing another human), and not blatantly paraded across the Western press like old farmers used to do with moles on a barbed wire fence to try to deter others!
I thought that humans had evolved into a stage where we are more caring for others but obviously I have got that wrong as well because we are still animals AND nasty animals at that! I wouldn't shed one single tear if God decided to eradicate the whole human race because something needs to be done DESPERATELY to sort out the wheat from the chaff - I am hating the whole of humanity at the moment!!!

yeah, i just read the news on it and it is pretty disturbing. i can understand killing him in a bombing, it would probably be too dangerous to go into their hiding places to try and capture him. the glorification of his death however there is no reason for it. people should be saddened that he never had an opportunity to see the world in a different way. if he was raised in an average american or british household he would have never been who he was. he was as much of a victim as the people he killed.

Hi Mark, good to have caught up with you again and have restablished a link. I agree with much of what you say about the bombing and the way it has been reported. However, the same could probably be said for the way it has no doubt been reported in the Middle East. Have a good weekend.

I agree, absolutley. When Iraq captured a couple of US troops at the very start and put them on their TV, it was called evil. When terrorists capture people they show us them, they're evil.

Yet we do this? It's wrong. It should have been a victory of sorts, as he had personally beheaded our hostages, but the western press sink to their filthy low down level and do that. Whats the difference between him photographing a head he's cut off, and them photographing him.

S'all sick.

(Please, don't feint that I agreed with you! )

I agree with you to an extent.. The UK, US and to some part, the Iraqi governments need to milk this event for all the positive PR they can get. But now that he's dead, they are hoping that they can move on in Iraq with an end to the bloodshed. The truth however, may be that the bloodshed isn't going to stop anytime soon, in fact, I have a sneaky feeling it's going to escalate.

Hi there Mark! I see you've made your way back here...I completely agree with your opinion of the new and "unimproved" 20six. It fucking sucks!!! But I'm in the hopes that perhaps it will get better?! We'll see!
