The Zarqawi Thing Is Working Out Well
by
Larry C Johnson

Warning. The following video is gruesome as hell http://www.ogrish.com/archives/ansar_al_sunnah_beheads_3_interior_ministry_workers_Jun_07_2006.html. It shows members of Zarqawi's group beheading three Iraqi Shia, who appear to be police. I post it in order to reinforce the point that Zarqawi, while a terrorist responsible for many deaths, is not the driving force in Iraq. In fact, his death will likely lead to more hideous acts of violence because of the leadership void created by his death (and I am not arguing that he should have been spared). Zarqawis understood media manipulation. In the early days of the insurgent war in Iraq he liked to post beheading videos. When he discovered that this horrified the world he changed his tactics--no more public beheading videos (he still cut off heads but did it privately).

When the United States decapitated the Colombian drug cartels in the early 90s, they fragmented and became more difficult to control. And, they became more violent. We saw a similar phenomenon in Algeria with the Armed Islamic Group. You cannot combat an insurgency thru counter terrorism tactics alone. That's a lesson the Bush Administration still has not grasped.

1. This Is An Excellent Point, Ma'am

There will be a struggle for leadership, and the coin of that struggle will be frightfulness and publicity, with the man who can commit the most hideous excesses and achieve the greatest noteriety by them winning the prize....

3. Until a REAL, "rule of law" and JUST composition of governance,...

,...is created, something far worse than the "rule of the jungle" will prevail.

Since the muther-gas-oppressive-products set their sights on control of assets, rather than a "civil society", (dumb-spoiled-ignorant-assholes) they will perpetuate human suffering and implied genocide upon a people WHO NEVER FUCKING HURT US OR THREATENED US!!!!

In reality, the muther-gas-oppressive-products created this ENTIRE MESS!!!!! They lied, defrauded, misappropriated, destroyed, killed, betrayed their own nation and democracy and the Constitution and conventions and agreements and treaties and contracts,....and those fuckers are still being allowed to fragment and destroy human integrity and potential and value.

They cannot be compared to ANY species on this earth. They are a cancer. They are spreading. They are the opposite of human potential.
