[...] If one looks back at how bloggers reported Zarqawi’s killing with the execution of Saddam; the contrast is striking. Then there was almost a united joy at the event. This time there is a distinctive split, with only political bloggers on one side and everyone else on the other. Contrast hardened political blogger Mohammed of Iraq the Model and British-based Eye-Raki with non-political teenager HNK: Mohammed:Outside Iraq people will divide over his hanging, just like they divided over his life and rule but here in Iraq most of us feel that today justice has been served. Those who mourn him are a few and are still living in the past that has no future in Iraq. and Eye Raki:People’s reaction to this execution is, i think, a true measure of what they are made of. The ones that are outraged at his death, are the probably the ones who support terrorism, fund terrorism or are terrorists themselves. The fools that are saying this was an unlawful execution and that Saddam was a legitimate ruler seem to have a very short memory versus HNK:I think I was wrong.. … My opinions changed from the first year I wrote in this blog. I thought in that time that everything is going to be good and acceptable for all of us but I was wrong my friend, I was so wrong. I was wrong when I said that Saddam don’t mean to me anything. I was wrong when I said that I think he is a bad guy … from now, I won’t say anything bad about Saddam because I don’t know whether he was right or wrong . But I know that the people who came after Saddam is Evil and worse than devil and Saddam was better than them…… [...]

Honest America,
I implore you, don’t be fooled by this single killing. We have bred 100′s of terrorists in the past years by our ignorance and dishonesty. We have to make our leaders more accountable to the citizens they represent by looking at issues of importance with clairity and honesty. That is the only way we can defeat the enemy.

The killing of Zarqawi will not deter the violence in Iraq. You don’t
stop a “cause” by killing high-profile individuals. For years Israel
told the world that the elimination of Arafat would pave a quicker road to peace. Violence begets violence. A lasting peace in Iraq or
anywhere in the world will only come when violence is no longer used
to achieve the ends.

The Iraqis must unite in the streets to support their new government. They must vocally and en masse call for the removal of terrorists from their soil. Show the world that the Iraqi people want to live in peace with their newly formed democratic republic. Now is time.
