Agreed. Good PR work from the allies to the "bad guys." The Pentagon has to think about this. This will scare the sh!t out of future terrorists living in that God-foresaken country.
Seems to me that we could have just dropped a couple of nukes, accept their unconditional surrender, clean up the bombed cities, give them a treaty saying we will take care of their defense in perpetuity, rack up a lopsided trade deficit, and have raw-camel meat bars sprout up stateside, and still come out ahead. ;)
