Zarqawi is gone. Long gone. For good. And the world is a better place today that it was yesterday. Maybe some regard him a a hero, but the plain fact is that he was a fanatical religious zealot and a blood thirsty murderous animal. Nothing more or less. True, someone may try to take his place, but he will be tough to clone, and any replacement with begin with his (her) days numbered.
Republicans have credited the President for the success of the mission to rid him from the earth. Left wingers (Dems), however, are more inclind to give the story the ho-hum treatment and observe that there will be a replacement, and the war goes on. Bin Laden and Zawahiri might shrug off the abrupt departure of their henchman Zarqawi as just another casualty of warfare – Al Queda style. But something tells me that they just may be looking over their shoulders a little bit more carefully, like anyone else on a published hit list.
In the meantime, I hope that we have a few appropriate medals for the crews of the 2 F-16s who delivered the 500 pounders.
