Is Zarqawi's Death a Good Thing

David Limbaugh writes that, while pointing out endlessly that we have yet to capture Bin Laden (and before that, Saddam and Zarqawi) the media now tells us that it really doesn't matter.

ABC's Diane Sawyer asked former White House adviser and Bush critic-at-large Richard Clarke whether Iraq was any safer and the war would end any sooner after Zarqawi's death. A glum Clarke said, "Well, unfortunately, the answer is no." He then said Zarqawi only commanded a few hundred people out of tens of thousands involved in the insurgency.

NBC's Tim Russert said the death would probably not "change things on the ground," noting that "foreign fighters are not the only threat that confront Iraq. There is this sectarian violence between the Sunnis and the Shiites, and that is separate above the killing of Zarqawi we're witnessing today."

Maybe we shouldn't have bothered killing Zarqawi - or any terrorist for that matter, since none of it seems not to matter to the media.
