Reports now are he was alive and somewhat aware that US Troops were there and mortally wounded him. Isn't that so much better than instant death?

Considering the devastation around him I definitely think something besides his evil kept him alive until he could see our General standing over him.
It sounds like rantrax below me has been watching too many half truth Michael Moore movies.

He needed to die but I don't know here's what would have happened if he died:
The death of the most prominent insurgent in Iraq, the Jordanian-born Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, will definitely have a demoralising effect on the worldwide Islamic terrorism movement. Zarqawi was reportedly killed on Thursday in a US air strike at Baquba, north of Baghdad. From all accounts, he was a tremendously divisive figure who, for four years, turbocharged the insurgency in Iraq with suicide bombs, kidnappings, assassinations and statements directed as much at Iraqi Shias as against the US-led military occupation. Of course, it’s too soon to say whether he died in the air strike or was killed earlier by rebel Iraqi resistance fighters who threw away the body that was recovered by US and Iraqi forces.

Revenge has nothing to do with justice.
The death of thosands of innocent Iraquis, the monetary, intelligence and military support that the US gave to Saddam until 1991 (when he nationalized the oil fields), the forced privatization of most of Iraq's public companies and resources, the poverty and terrorism *created* by this war, and the obsene profits that Lockheed-Martin, Halliburton, the Carlyle Group, etc. are making from this does not seem like justice or revenge to me either.

The main thing is that he is out of business and won't be cutting off any more heads like he did to Nick Berg for seven minutes with a dull blade !

I'd have preferred the same kind of slow, painful death he gave so many other people, but generally I'm just glad he's gone.

Anything we did is merciful compared to what torture and evil he did to other Americans and Iraqis alike.
Terrorists are cowards when you come right down to it.
Killing innocent people,.Wow big man. Just another thug.

No, it sounds like we were going to treat his wounds.
If we did, then good.
