Zarqawi legacy
The US and UK have hailed news that
Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, leader of al-Qaeda in Iraq, has died in a US air
strike. Zarqawi died when US planes dropped two 500lb (230kg) bombs on a
site near the city of Baquba. He was identified by fingerprints, tattoos and
scars. The US struck after receiving specific tip-offs from within Zarqawi's
organization, officials said. US President George W Bush described the news
as a severe blow to al-Qaeda and "justice" for Zarqawi.
British PM Tony Blair described it as "very good news", but
both leaders said Zarqawi's death would not end violence.

Thanks for coming. The Prime Minister and I have known each other since
1998, when he was the mayor of Jerusalem, and I was the governor of Texas.
And I remember you greeting me in your office there, and you probably
thought you were going to be the Prime Minister -- I wasn't sure if I was
going to be the President. (Laughter.) We've just had a really productive
meeting. We reaffirmed the deep and abiding ties between Israel and the
United States. Full article

well-aged Cognac Napoleon, and an Emile Zola's verita humana with a New
York twist. New Yorkers love her column in the New York Daily News. She
is an award-winning film critic and the
