REST IN PEACE ALL!!!
We can’t both become the same pawn
That’s made to fall
Oil that tastes like
Blood steals the summer scent
From me to you
You’re stabbing me through you
You’re stabbing you through him
And betting most of
This world
We’ll add enough of the world

For the most part I would say rest in peace to them all, except for guys like Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi. The world is better off with terrorists like him out of the picture... ;D

Do not forget those who died in calamities, natural or manmade.

As for the two dictators and that mafioso of a terrorist, may Divine Justice give to their victims what human justice has failed to provide.

Requiescat in pace.
"To give and not to count the cost... to fight and not to heed the wounds... to toil and not to seek for rest... to labor and ask not for reward..."

I didn't know Don Knotts died. :( I was still trying to imitate him saying "Nip it in the bud!"

but as far as Milosevic, Al-Zarqawi, Ken Lay, Pinochet, and Hussien; we ain't gonna miss 'em. Good-BYE, and good riddance to human waste.
I wish I had something really witty to put here like everyone else
