According to the latest USA Today-Gallup poll

some 53% of respondents think terrorist leader Abu Musab Al Zarqawi's assassination in Iraq marks a positive turning point for our war in Iraq.
Of course, last time Humble Elias checked, 53% of the country was convinced that Osama Bin-Laden and Saddam Hussein were in cahoots pure-n-simple.
All those numbers seem to say is that a very slight majority of Americans are still willing to look on the sunny side of things in Iraq.
Nonetheless, Zarqawi is dead, he was a killer and ideologue and he suffered the fate of the bloodthirsty and the self-righteous.

Anyway just how big a player is Al Qaeda in Iraq anyway?
Seems to me when the dust settles and the smoke clears that the future of Iraq will be determined by a bunch of warring ethnic militias. Osama Bin Laden will be naught but a sideshow when that day of wrath comes.
Thus in the end, it is not a question of IF shaaria law will be introduced in Iraq but WHEN and by WHO?
