I think you're missing the point.
He was a bad guy, helped to kill our troops and for that I'm glad he's in little pieces.
But while his involvement in Iraqi violence in reality has been pretty small, it's been portrayed as
the major source of instability to
distract the media from the real issue of sectarian violence.
Not to mention how before the war Zarqawi was used as evidence of a Saddam/al Qaida collaboration which was a bogus claim...
Great, he's dead and it's a nagging mission we can check off the list...but the notion that this is a game changing event isn't supported by the facts as have been reported by our own military.
