Terrorism revealed its soul: merciless, vindictive and in love with death itself. There's no strategic plan behind the slaughter of Iraqi workers in a marketplace in Tikrit or the butchering of other Sunni Arabs in Hawija. Suicide bombings in a Baghdad bazaar don't have cunning goals.
The terror attacks are no longer about changing Iraq. They're about punishment.
Embittered and on the run, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi realizes that the tide has turned decisively against him. He and his international gang of terrorists couldn't dislodge the United States military or the Coalition, but only chipped at its edges. Their violence couldn't stop Iraq's elections. They couldn't prevent the formation of a new government.
Now they have to watch as their former allies, Iraq's Sunni Arabs, defect to the elected regime and turn in the foreign terrorists in their neighborhoods.
And Peters notes this:
This isn't jihad. It's the mass murder of Muslims. In response to popular sentiment, even al-Jazeera has toned down its pro-terror propaganda.
He should have said "mass murder of Muslims" by Muslims - an important point to be sure.
