President Bush in an unprecedented moment of honesty actually said that violence in Iraq may escalate in the near future. Amazing! I am not sure if he figured it out himself or had coaching from Karl Rove, but it's the truth.
Zarquai may have been a problem, but he was only a named problem. There are thousands of anonymous fighters who will carry on with much the same effect as Zarquai. The difference is that they will not be framed as the "boogie man" that Zarquai was. That is the problem with trying to pin down the source of the insurgency as one person. It's not one person, it's a prevailing attitude. There is discontent with the ruling faction in Iraq and until that is settled there will be violence. The same is true in the middle east in general. There is discontent in the foreign policies of the west as it pertains to the middle east and until that changes there will be terrorists.
