al-Zarqawi has been killed
The leader of the terrorist movement in Iraq has been killed! Unlike Usama bin Ladin, who simply condemns Europe and America as infidels on video after disappearing in Pakistan, al-Zarqawi was considered the real leader that started all these bloody attacks in Iraq, as well as beheaded American hostages himself.
Although a happy thing, it is not a cause of jubilation yet. He may be regarded as a martyr. Others may take his place. Bombings may worsen. If, however, there were tensions that he kept under control, then the struggle for power may splinter the terrorists just enough to make things more "manageable."
And manageable sounds like a callous word in war. What is manageable when one life is lost compared to 20 in a day?
