Okay, let's not go overboard here

How would you react to the death of the guy who not only cut off your son's head, but made a tape and showed it to the whole world? You'd talk tough, that's what:

"I think the news of the loss of any human being is a tragedy. I think al-Zarqawi's death is a double tragedy," [Michael Berg] said. "His death will incite a new wave of revenge. George Bush and al-Zarqawi are two men who believe in revenge."

Berg said "restorative justice," - such as being forced to work in a hospital where maimed children are treated - could have made al-Zarqawi "a decent human being."

Whoa, whoa, calm down there, Mike! How about just giving him a timeout? March him over to his chair in the corner and give him 5 minutes to sit and think about what he's done. If he still keeps acting out, drop the big bomb: No Spongebob.
