The killing of Zarqawi in Iraq is easily the biggest victory to-date for the US-led forces in Iraq. The next several weeks will prove exactly how strong a leader this guy really was. One can only hope that this victory for the allied forces will be a big step towards peace in Iraq.

Is it wrong to aspire for peace in Iraq? I never said that I support the war, did I? 🙂

Re: Pran KurupNo! You didn’t say you support the war; nor did I indict you of any war love! 😉 But who created the war in Iraq? To me, there is nothing heroic or special in trying to snuff out the flame you have lighted! That only is my point my Lord. :-))
