Abu Musab Al Zarqawi – a Party is in Order
Success is the progressive realization of postive worthwhile predetermined goals. – Success Motivation Institute
In that sense, Abu Musab al Zarqawi could never have been considered successful. He was a cold blooded murdering terrorist thug who killed thousands of innocent people, often in the most heinously primitive ways. If someone had opened some prison doors and freed all the mad dog murderers after the downfall of Saddam Hussein’s brutal dictatorship, he’s the kind of guy we can imagine being turned loose on society.
He achieved no positive goals by his murders. He will be remembered by the world as nothing but a mad dog murderer. No memorials will ever be publicly built to honor him. No schools, bridges, hospitals or Iraqi children will be named for him. If he is remembered, even a decade from now, it will only be with the notoriety due a rabid mass murderer. His name and memory will only be cursed by decent people everywhere. This is not a man that decent people anywhere can imagine being in any kind of heaven with virgins. No, decent people can only imagine him suffering the worst damnations of hell for eternity.
I heard years ago of a Jewish holiday called Purim, where they bake pastries filled with prunes to symbolize the dark heart of an evil king named Hamen, and they tell the story involving Esther. Every time they mention Hamen’s name, all the kids make noise to cover it up with these ratchety rotary noise makers. That’s the kind of evil that Abu Musab al Zarqawi will be remembered for.
But I’d like to suggest that a party is in order this weekend.
Back in the Ã?¯Ã?¿Ã?½70’s I was working at a company with an engineer-supervisor who no one really liked. He was an incompetent phony, so incompetent that they finally had him sitting in his office reading magazines ( didn’t assign him anymore engineering work ) until he got so bored that he quit. Every time someone would leave that company, they would have a going away party for them. But when this guy left, the thought occurred to me that going away parties are only for people you like. When someone leaves that no one likes, they should wait until they’re gone and have a “Went-Away Party” because everyone’s so glad they went away!
So with Zarqawi and his murdering thug friends, who were finally brought to justice by the fed-up Iraqi people working in concert with coalition forces, everyone should throw a little “Went Away Party” this weekend in his dishonor. So glad you’re gone Abu! The world is a little bit better place because of it.
