more of the same...

Abu Musab al-Zarqawi is dead, blasted by a couple of 500 lb bombs from an F16 after his location was finally confirmed long enough for a strike.

There is no doubt that al-Zarqawi was one of the worst of the terrorist insurgents in Iraq. For that just remember Nicholas Berg. There is no doubt that if the US invasion of Iraq hadn't given al-Zarqawi his battlefield, he would have found another one with al Qaeda. But neither should anyone doubt getting this one guy will change anything in Iraq, at least not for a long time. I fear that our policies have created a new generation of terrorists, and we won't be 'winning' for a very long time. And the number of Americans that now believe this has become very high.

How long?
