HAVANA (AP) - President Fidel Castro called the U.S. airstrike that killed Abu Musab al-Zarqawi a ``barbarity,'' saying he should have been put on trial.

The United States acted as ``judge and jury'' against the leader of the al-Qaida in Iraq, Castro said late Friday.

``They bragged, they were practically drunk with happiness.''

``The accused cannot just be eliminated,'' he told a literacy conference. ``This barbarity cannot be done.''

The U.S. military has said al-Zarqawi initially survived the dropping of two 500-pound bombs on his hide-out Wednesday, but died a short time later.

Castro said if Cuba used the same logic, it could bomb the United States to kill its No. 1 enemy, Luis Posada Carriles, who is being held in El Paso, Texas on immigration charges.

The communist government accuses the Cuban-born Posada of masterminding numerous violent attacks against the island, including the bombing of a Cuban airliner that killed 73 people in 1976. Posada denies involvement in the bombing of the plane.

Global Good News comment:

Government is only worthy of the name if it has the ability to prevent problems. In this scientific age a prevention-oriented, problem-free government can be created in every country through the application of the knowledge of total Natural Law, the Constitution of the Universe, which governs the infinite diversity of the ever-expanding universe with perfect order. With the full support of Natural Law every country can enjoy affluence and peace.

Maharishi Peace Governments:

Maharishi Peace Governments are now being established in 108 countries. The Peace Government will not usurp the responsibilities of the existing government, which is primarily concerned with crisis management. Instead, this second, complementary government will bring the life of a nation's people more into accord with Natural Law, thereby preventing crime, improving health, and elevating the destiny of the nation.
