Why is it O.K. for us to post the photos of dead enemies just to prove to the world that the person is dead when our government says it is NOT O.K. for the enemy to post photos of our dead? Isn’t us posting photos of their dead against the Geneva Convention? Sounds like our government is just a bunch of self rightous hypocrites.

I agree the photo was very sick no wonder people from other countries show beheading etc. live they think the US gets off on looking at this stuff. I hope they get their pipeline through Iraq soon so this will be over. Just like in Nam when our soldiers were called baby killers. This stuff makes me want to conduct sit-ins and pull out my peace beads.

There is a difference here: Al Zarqawi is a terrorist. He is not a soldier for any known country. The Geneva Convention rules do NOT apply to terrorists like Zarqawi, but they do apply to US Soldiers and Soldiers of other countries.

Shoot people were demanding to see it because they thought the government was lying and now that the government has done what was asked other people are complaining. You guys that hate the President really need to get on the same page or quit whining when one group that has demanded something gets it.

You wrote "Sounds like our government is just a bunch of self rightous hypocrites."
If you're going to correctly answer your own questions, what are the rest of us doing here? :-)

Al-Zarqawi was created by the U.S.gov't.has died 3 or 4 time allready,had only one good leg but tried once to jump from a truck,this time;he tried to escape from a strecher on one leg but the army killed him;washed him n give him a hair cut,anthing to please Bush so is popularity would go up.

Zarqawi was not a soldier, he was a terrorist guerilla. Plus he was the head of "the base" in Iraq.

thats right. americans just think they are not terrorists. they want to prove that the mission in iraq is about abolishing terrorism and the people should be alerted about the dead and alive terrorists.
so that they can see who is friend and whos foe.

It's okay for us to do it because we are the world superpower and we can do anything we want! In addition, terrorists deserve no compassion or sympathy. They should be humiliated to no end.

Completely different situation. Think about it. Terrorist vs. soldiers fighting for their country. Sorry, but dumb question.
