Murder is Rating's Booster?

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -American public doubts over the Iraq war reached a new high in the days before the killing of Iraqi insurgent leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, a poll taken this week showed.
The Associated Press-Ipsos poll found that 59 percent of the public believed the decision to invade Iraq in 2003 was a mistake, 10 percentage points more than a December 2005 poll and the highest level yet. Approval of U.S. President George W. Bush's handling of the war reached a new low of 33 percent, down 4 points from May.
Bush's overall job approval rating was 35 percent, a little above the low of 33 percent recorded last month.
The poll was taken Monday through Wednesday, before news broke that Zarqawi, the al Qaeda leader in Iraq, had been killed in a U.S. air strike. The attack gave Bush one of his most significant successes in Iraq since the capture of former President Saddam Hussein late in 2003.
The poll, released by Ipsos on Friday, surveyed 1,003 adults and carried a margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 percentage points.

Just starting my reading and writing for the day and seeing only two articles, in my opinion Abu Musab al-Zarqawi did not die to make the world safer or to help anyone except to give Bush a little rating’s pat on the back because his rating’s situation had fallen almost as low as Nixon before he was impeached.
Then using this same reasoning, to further the financial ruin of the world with a few advisor’s asking Mr. Bush to stop showing the public his gloating after a murder that is reminiscent of an Israeli air strike, I for one think if murder is such big business no wonder life is becoming wholesale.
Something that keep’s coming to mind these days, if America and those associated with them do not change the path they are on you will see a complete implosion not only of the western society but again like what happened to the Roman society; hence another Dark Ages.
Are the American’s ready to go back wearing furs, carrying clubs, living in huts , eating meat like animals and wearing human skulls on their heads like their European ancestor’s once did?
