Scotsman.com News - International - Al-Qaeda on defensive as bombs begin to backfireOnly, they're not against the world - they WANT the world. Slight difference there.Al-Qaeda's volte-face was caused by an unprecedented emotional outpouring of anger against the terrorist organisation in Jordan. On Thursday thousands of Jordanians protested across the country to denounce the head of the al-Qaeda terrorist group in Iraq, Zarqawi, America's most wanted enemy. They marched through Amman chanting: "Burn in hell, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi!"
There were even larger demonstrations on Friday after the weekly midday mosque sermons in Amman and at a mass funeral for victims. "We came to support our nation and our unity," said Ibrahim Haniya, 22, who marched with a group of friends. "These bombers didn't differentiate between Muslims, Christians or Jews. They were against the world."
And Zarqawi's bombing - well, that was all just good clean fun against the infidel (both the Coalition and the Iraqis trying to get their country back on it's feet) until he started hitting easy targets just a LITTLE too close to home.
But that may have been the straw that broke the metaphorical camel's back. We'll see - but I think that was ta real bad move on his part.

actually, that was a real good move on zarqawi's part, in a way (except, of course, for his next destruction and murder). Maybe now, the world will get closer to waking up, and exterminating this piece of scum, that is less than an insect!!

A good move in the "Smooth move, Ex-Lax" style?
