Al-Zarqawi Is Eliminated

In his great play "Richard III," Shakespeare concluded with the memorable phrase, "The bloody dog is dead!"

The same thing can appropriately be said today of the al-Qaeda terrorist, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. Thanks to a coordinated effort including U.S. military forces, the new Iraqi government and Jordanian agents, this evil man was discovered at long last in a house near Baquba, northeast of Baghdad, and a precision air strike killed him and seven of his followers.

Let's hope it will at least partially curb the sectarian attacks in Iraq which have killed thousands of innocent men, women and children.
