The Beginning Of The End: Again

So a rather insignificant man, who's "influence" was largely a product of the fervent imagination of the Western MediaGovernment, is, we hear, dead.

Yes, all round bogey-man and bearded genius, Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi, has been killed in a heroic American bombing operation. The brave freedom-lovers dropped a 500 pound bomb on a house near Baghdad, and then dropped another one just to make sure no one made it out alive. Amongst those not to survive were a child and a women who were living in the house alongside the evil-doers. But, then again, who really cares? The Brown Eyed Devil is dead, and now, asks the BBC hopefully, will this mean an end to the insurgency?

Um, no. For a couple of reasons:

1) The Iraqi resistance largely disliked Zarqawi and his small band. The resistance is 95% Iraqi, and this Jordanian upstart was something of a nuisance, not a "Leader".

2) The resistance arises from the Occupation, not the "Jihadist" ideology of Al-Qaeda. Only an end to the Occupation can bring an end to the resistance, and only the resistance can bring an end to the Occupation. The resistance is self-contained. If it fulfils its purpose, it will disappear. If the Americans and their stooges continue to massacre, rape and pillage their way around Iraq, the Iraqis will continue to struggle against it.

Indeed, a more realistic outcome of this death is that the resistance becomes more united and national. He was largely a divisive figure, so this may bring the Shia and Sunni groups resisting the occupation closer together. That would be an irony indeed, and the best answer to the crowing of the belligerati and supine Media.





Victory To The Iraqi Resistance!
