And my original point was that this will most likely spawn some sort of "So what, we're still evil, watch!" type sadistic bombing. Again, much like if the president and blah blah blah were killed, the US would respond with some sort of something.

Wow, Bluefire, you were dead right. Crazy.
As for your first question...
NO, HE WOULDN'T BE. Why would you think he would be? He has no experience as the president. he has no idea what kind of responsibilities or time management he'll need. If you have convinced yourself that pretty much anyone in any kind of governemnt position could perform adeqquately as president on nearly no notice, thats strictly a fabrication and rationalization to support your own political views.
BTW, since your such an expert on US Presidential competencies and power succession, who
would be the 7th in line for the US presidency? And
no, I don't expect you to know this. And
yes, I am just making one of my reknowned smart-ass points. And
yes, if you do reply with the correct answer, you
did Google it.
Dyne, you are completely right. American news organizations should not be acting in such a juvenile manner, especially in their powerful position. The whole point should be that we are above such petty and inflamatory rhetoric. Then again, it is the POST. Thats like asking the GLOBE to act in an honorable fashion.
But even if Zarqawi was only the head in Iraq (he was much more than that), he still has all the experience and connections in Iraq. If they replace him with someone from another country, they are still starting from square one, and without any Suni help.
