So little, so late

Abu Mussab al-Zarqawi is history. Finally, there is a measurable success in an otherwise murky situation. Someone will collect $25 million dollars. It appears that money motivated someone to provide critical information to Americans. Zarqawi was behind cruel murders; he passionately killed hundreds, if not thousands of people. At a certain point within his three years of operation, at least a few thousand people knew of his whereabouts. No one decided that the killing should stop. It appears that Americans were not able to convince even one person within the leadership of the underground opposition in Iraq to switch to our cause. Someone took our money, but no one there seems to believe in our cause. This is troubling. Zarqawi is gone. Americans achieved so little, so late.
