This weblog post neatly summarizes how I feel about the killing of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. I'd like to believe it will do something to diminish terrorism but I suspect it will do that about as much as the passing of Colonel Sanders ended the frying of chicken. And I will always be at least a little uncomfortable at the celebration of anyone's death, even when the anyone is murdering scum. Which is not to say I don't understand why people are cheering.
