[...] In June I was pretty angry about this whole situation and I suppose it was partly because Zarqawi had just been killed and any political official and Jordan praising him was bound to pick on my darker side. I still think what they did was wrong but as far as their punishment, one has to consider the ramifications. [...]

Naseem, actually some guy from the same party appeared on TV and tried to clarify the MPs’ position by saying that the MPs are against killing innocents…etc and that visiting his family was merely a social duty.

Guess he was trying to be deplomatic and save the rest but I personally think the man’s family shouldn’t be punished for what their son had done.

I shared you your sentiment till I thought it over again. They do not believe that Zarqawi was responsible for Amman’s explosions; and based on that they see what he did in Iraq as “resistance” and so, their attendance of his funeral has nothing to do with praising those who were behind the explosions.

Not that I believe in what they believe, but I see where they come from. They don’t believe he’d done it in the first place.

Well, at least *something* was done. The IAF have really proved themselves to be hypocrites here. Oh, we cannot judge a fellow Muslim like Zarqawi. Bollocks. Judging people is practically in their job description. Ugh.
