Would the death of Al Qaeda leader in Iraq, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, make any difference at all as far as the civil war in Iraq is concerned? Unlikely. But as far as President Bush poll rating goes, it certainly does make an impact one way or another. For Bush and Blair to some extent, that’s what matters.
See what the exited Bush had to say
“Through his every action, he sought to defeat America and our coalition partners and turn Iraq into a safe haven from which al-Qaeda could wage its war on free nations…Now Zarqawi has met his end and this violent man will never murder again.”
And Blair doesnt want to be left behind
“The death of Zarqawi is a strike against al-Qaeda in Iraq, and therefore a strike against al-Qaeda everywhere. But we should have no illusions. We know that they will continue to kill. We know there are many, many obstacles to overcome.”
This is the different between state-terrorism led by both, and non-state terrorism under Usamah bin Ladin and his peers: while the former can murder freely hundreds of thousands of innocent people under the disguise of “nation on war” and supported fully by their embedded-prostituted journalists, the latter does not have such luxury. Yet the result is the same: the victims are innocent civilians all over the world.
The definition of justice and truth are decided by the conqueror and history record are written by the winner, the more powerful forces. It’s just the-strongest-survive-the-competition kind of things that actually happen since time immemorial, this time is not excluded
