Yeah...certainly a monster by any measure...but also a human being. And his death changes nothing except perhaps increasing the violence in Iraq and worldwide. If some folks take solice in his death then I'm glad they've found a small measure of peace but in the end, it's just another killing! Those involved all wore masks...just like the terrorists...I understand the risk to their personal safety but still...what exactly was the difference between what is being showed on TV and the net today and those other murders by those we call terrorists?
