For me, and I think a lot of others, the best thing about his life is that he didn't die immediately after the bombs hit, but had a few moments of consciousness to realize that he was in the hands of the US military and to experience the terror that must have brought.....
I'd love to know how long Zarq lived from the time the bomb struck until he breathed his miserable last. I hope his suffering felt like an eternity.
He also was lying trapped in the rubble from the first bomb, probably hearing the second one coming.
