A Very Good Point

For those who honestly believe we're fighting a just war, and that the people of Iraq want our brand of freedom and want us there to instill it, and that this fledgling democracy will succeed, I saw a great point on another blog (the link to which I have, sadly, lost. I wish I could give proper credit.):

There is a $25 million bounty on the head of Abu Musab al Zarqawi and has been for several months. How long do you think a bounty like that would go unclaimed in the United States?

The belief in the rightness of his cause and the wrongness of ours is so strong, people are willing to forgo $25 million in order to keep him in power?

Even assuming some people don't claim the reward for fear of reprisals, that we've not had ANYONE think it worth coming forward is amazing. Keep in mind, this is a country in which some men will become a martyr, if it means they can leave enough money behind for their family to eat.

Just some early Saturday morning thoughts.
