A good week for freedom and democracy

This week we saw in illustration of governments in cooperation world wide in an effort to dismantle terror networks resulting in arrests in 22 countries; Zarkawi and 17 of his very closest friends killed as a result of information received from Iraqi civilians, and now the USS Cole is back in action.

NORFOLK, Virginia (AP) -- The USS Cole left port Thursday for its first Middle East deployment since a 2000 terrorist attack blew a hole in its side and killed 17 sailors.

A good week for freedom and Democracy.

UPDATE: The fabulous Dr. Sanity rounds up reactions from all those folks who wouldnt know a good thing if it feel out of the sky and wiggled in their laps. Once again, I'm stunned by those who just last week were trumpeting the successes of Zarkawi as evidence of our failure in Iraq, but now that hes dead he was A) just a figurehead B) Never really a threat anyway C) Didnt have any Al-Queda connections. It seems that for some people, all news and information is being filtered through the "good for Bush, not good for Bush" machine to determine if something worth celebrating or not.

UPDATE II: If Bush keeps killing all of the middle east "partners for peace", who will be left for us to surrender to? ( Shades of Jimmy Carter and his belief that Arafat was a 'partner for peace'. heh...)

UPDATE III: The Butchers Bill; A list of killing of children and beheadings that Zarkawi took credit for.

UPDATE IV: From DailyKos - "Bush's idea of justice is bombs falling out of the sky?". Well, uh yeah, you got a problem with that? Whats your idea of justice,eh hippy? a full hashpipe?
