Not many in Iraq honored Zaqawi and I believe that he had the Iraqis fighting each other. Now that he is out of the picture, will the Iraqis now turn their full attention to getting the US out of their country? Remember, Zarqawi would never have been in Iraq had the US not been there.

1. This is my fear
"There has been, even in the last several months when I was there back in December during the elections, talk about the local Iraqis getting very angry at the way Zarqawi was conducting this campaign of insurgency because it was going against the people of Iraq, and really creating so much violence against the people of Iraq. So there was an attempt already several months ago to try to foment splits within the insurgency movement." From interview with Christine Amanpour

2. It won't make any difference considering there are only a
handful of insurgents.

Most of the people fighting against our presence there are Iraqis, not insurgents.
