"Zarqawi wasn't killed in revenge for previous attacks."

Of course he wasn't, but Berg was being asked if Zarqawi being killed gave him pleasure, and he said no. As another person that has learned the folly of revenge, I know what he means.

But the followers of Zarqawi will go for revenge, and their victims will in turn, and Iraq will not heal. Zarqawi will have died a happy terrorist, leaving more violence and hatred in the wake of his death. For a policy that tried a different path, look to South Africa.

Right about now thousands of people in Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Syria, Iran, Pakistan, you name it, have just made up their mind to joint jihad because of Zarqawi. And anyone who thinks otherwise they don't have a clue what has been happening in the M.E. all these years. If you wanted to spike recruits for jihad, you could not have asked for anything better than Zarqawi's death.
