Mother Moonbat on Zarqawi

Cindy Sheehan has weighed in on the death Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the single most important figure in the terrorist insurgency that killed her son. As any decent person would, she offered congratulations to our military for a job well done, and encouraged her fellow Americans to take heart in the progress being made in the struggle against Islamic terrorism.
Just kidding. Actually, like other progressives, Sheehan lamented al-Zarqawi's death.
"I suspect it's going to make the insurgency in Iraq worse," she predicted of his demise. If the terrorists respond like enemies usually do by trying to retaliate, says the Ditch Witch, it "will just prove to me that our presence in Iraq is just fueling the violence, fueling the insurgency."
She's right, actually. Without the coalition presence, there would soon be no more insurgency. That's because the people behind it — sadistic butchers like al-Zarqawi — would be running the government, using Iraq as they used Afghanistan in the prelude to 9/11, with the difference that they would have massive oil revenues at their disposal.
The only thing more horrifying than the possibility of that happening is the fact that there are people in this country who want it to happen.
