Huh????

Well, its official the fringe has spoken:

Targeted assassinations are unethical, and they don't work. For those reasons, I was wrong to exult over Zarqawi's death yesterday. Sure, he was an evil human being. But all that's been accomplished by this strike is one death that encourages those on both sides who would escalate the cycle of violence even further.

Hmm, this does not seem like sound logic to me. Don't people get it, Al Qaeda does not need a reason to escalate violence. They will escalate the violence whenever they have the capability to escalate, they don't need any extra reasons.

This reminds me of conversations I have had about Saddam recieving a fair trial. This is not possible. A fair trial, implies a presumption of innocence. When guilt is not in question then the trial is just to go through the motions and lay out exactly what charges this person is being convicted of.

Any sane person knows Zarqawi's death was a huge victory. Would the fringe say the same thing if it was Bin Laden's head instead?
