R E S P E C T

When somone dies, I believe their body must be handled with respect.
Not photographed for the world to see.
I don't care who the person was, or what they did with the time they had on this earth. If everyone in the world deserves one thing, it is for their remains to be respected.
Yes, Al-Zarquawi and Saddam's sons included.
And it's not just them.
There are photographs and footage of people dead and dying everywhere.

Let's try and have some respect, people.

u're right! i was thinking the exact same thing when i saw Zarqawi's pictures!

I think the picture of Zarqawi had to be shown to convince everyone of his death. Otherwise there would be a large number saying "he is still alive and the Americans are lying."______They did clean him up and showed only the face, to show some respect. Certainly more respect than Zarqawi gave his victims.

a person like zarqawi or saddam's moronic sons that had their own rape rooms do not deserve an ounce of respect,,showing their photographs to the world is actually sympathetic to the things they should do, and don cox has a valid point as well

I always thought it was weird when leaders "lay in state" for a long time and everyone comes to see them laying there dead.....sis from the usa

They showed all of Zarquawi. Not just his face.

Stupid

About Zaqauwi - if there hadn't been photos taken of his body, thousands of Islamists would not have accepted that he is dead. Same with Saddam's sons. People feared for their LIVES, and knowing that these people ARE dead brings them great comfort.

dostish,,,they showed a fucking video of saddam and people still didn't believe it was really him...trying watching a couple of documentaries on that twisted family and you'll hear all about the heart warming rape rooms...who gives a fuck if we're living in 06,,,some humans just don't deserve respect,,,dead or alive

I have heard theories that Zarquawi never existed.
Photographs of dead bodies prove nothing to many people. Especially not when their faces have been reconstructed with clay.
Again: I think that no matter who the person was, or what he or she did, they should not be denied basic human rights.

hi ubergirl. an earlier anon above pointed to the practise of dead bodies of leaders lying in state for the mourners. the most extreme version of this must be lenin still mummified in moscow (seen him there!). what do you think of this?

To tell u the truth im not even sure Zarqawi even existed at all. The CIA had all this information about all the crimes he committed etc etc YET they caught him only
until now (apparently).

Using the Zarqawi story was a strangely convenient way of justifying US forces for staying in Iraq longer than they had initially proposed. It also served to turn public opinion in their favor as can be seen by the reaction of anonymous. In a way, Zarqawi was the best thing that happened for the US.
Smells like another piece of carefully crafted propaganda.

The pictures could have been of practically anyone dead or alive. After lying to the UN, I think theres more than enough reason these days for people to doubt the US government.

I only cant but agree with you ubergirl, as always, you speak sense :)

A dead person's last wish would be to receive respect to his private and own body!

I totally agree. The fact that Zarqawi himself showed the beheaded bodies of his victims doesn't authorize anybody to repeat this behaviour. Two wrongs don't make a right.

Good point. Besides, those that dont believe there was ever a Zarqawi still dont believe it. Those who did believe it and worked with him know he's dead.

To me it is sort of a war trophy, in bad taste.
