Yeah... There's alot of this..."Oh someone else will just replace him"... Couple things wrong with that argument 1) Zarqawi has been at it a long time. He was a seasoned pro. Not easily replaced. Sure they can find another dirtbag, but will that dirtbag have the experience? 2) Him getting bumped off serves as reminder that this a violent business. Those that chose to dabble in it will not live cushy lives and grow old. They will either get killed by their peers or by those they attack. Either way, it's not a glamourous, glorious existence and things like this highlight that.
