Each time a leader has been captured or killed, we have been told it will make a difference, that at last we are making progress, that we have turned a corner. Perhaps this time it is true, but experience indicates otherwise.

Yeah right! Clap your hands and sing a song of joy! We won!
..Nevermind that there are probably 100 people in line, even more brutal than him, waiting to get his place.

Unlike autonomous terror cells, the Sunni insurgency does exhibit signs of definitive top-down organization. The leaders, unlike the brainwashed walking bombs they use as tools, see a political future for themselves, whether it's dreaming of being an 'emir' or hoping to force their way into the political framework of the new Iraq. There's potential vulnerability either way, either for bargaining/negotiations or for the threat of arrest and having one's future ambitions neutralized.

There is a fine line to be crossed when the peaceful population of Iraq knows that the rule of law and order will prevail and have the upper hand. Then believe you me the Qaeda, alien as it is in Iraq, will decapitate into thin air.
