I completely agree with qprogeny.
As the retired general remarked recently on Bill Maher, "we gave the Shi'ites a gift" with the way we have handled things so far.
This won't be a popular thing to write with everyone, but Zarqawi was a Sunni extremist & the thing is is what we have done over there is basically helped with the genocide of the Sunni people because Sunni Gangsta Hussein played too much hardball with the US whereas we have been double-dealing with the Shi'ites since Reagan. Still, head-choppers & suicide bomber enthusiasts must die whether they be Kurd, Shi'ite or Sunni.
It does make a bit of difference, jon boy. Our troops need the morale boost. Zarqawi was on the way out because the persecuted Sunnis started to realize that his ways were too brutal & were never going to help them state their case, but he was the leader of the former insurgency. Another head will grow to take his place, but as I've-got-a-corn-cob-up-my-bum Blair remarked "now they know our committment is total."
