How do you guys think this will affect the future of Iraq?

[Roy.]

i hope it does good things for iraq. maybe zarqawis death will teach a lesson. **** with us and we will eventually pwn you.

i'm afriad though that someone is just going to pick up where he left off.

it really sucks they killed him...i would have like to have seen him have to go through a trial and seen justice for all the innocent people he helped kill. it sucks the families wont get that closure.

That's exactly what will happen.

My money says IED's, and executions continue or even get ramped up.

It's an important psychological victory, but that can so easily be turned around.

[Smokey D]

Hasn't Zarqawi recently taken a back seat in Iraqi terrorism? Foreign jihadis are playing a smaller and smaller role as the conflict becomes more nationalised -- this may not have a significant effect at all.

I hope it does though.

I cant see what impact it has at all.
Like one man down would cripple an entire organization?
I wish it would.

It's great we got him, but it could infuriate those crazy bastards even more.

He was probably dead before this announcement. Jerusalem, and Pakistani news reports have been saying he was dead for a long time now.

But regardless of when it happened, it most likely will not effect anything.

It's exciting, he was flaunting the fact that we couldn't get him, that he was immune, and that he was victorious. This changes the effect of all of those statements.

No it isn't.

Let's not minimize this just because you don't like the US. It's a victory, plain and simple. Will it stop the insurgency? No. But is it justice? Yes. This man personally beheaded people

I think this is good. From what I understand, the insurgency led by Zarqawi were primarily concerned with bombing civilian targets in an effort to stir up religious conflict and, as they hoped, start a civil war. I'd much rather see an insurgency that is somewhat nationalist and targets American and other foreign occupiers...

I'd rather not see anybody be killed at all. No insurgency at this point is good thing, the region is troubled.

revenge for Zarqawi dead is soon and more Zarqawi will born

There is no garuantee that whoever will take over will run the insrugency well. The whole time they spend trying to find a new leader will be great for the US to start cleaning up the unsecured towns.

[Ugoff]

I'm glad that bastard is dead but the thing is that somebody will take his place and he'll just be a martyr now. Hopefully this will break the moral of the insurgants but I doubt it.

[Reaganista]

I think the moral of the insurgents is 'don't blow up your own people or they may do things like turn you over to the US'
