I think the vast majority of Iraqis are just happy that the leader of one of the groups of foreign troublemakers is dead. They'd probably be equally enthused if someone took out Rummy. Probably most of Zarqarwi's "followers" are malleble Muslim youths in other Muslim countries. From what I understand, they follow news from Iraq as if it were a sport. “[M]ost estimates place the number of foreign jihadists operating in Iraq at between 800 and 1,000 at any given time—a mere fraction of the overall insurgency, which is estimated to be 15,000 to 20,000 strong.”
