#7 A thousand more might take his place...

Yes and they may fight for position, they may be less experienced, they may be less aggressive or demented.

The thousands will fill his shoes is just a pathetic excuse for doing nothing at all.

#11 Hmmm...let me get this right. The American system turns out thousands of leaders every years for their military. The system by and large works very effectively. Now how many 'leaders' of any effectiveness outside media manipulation [and that's with a willing partner] and killing civilians by the boat full, has the other side fielded?

We've been killing the cannon fodder pretty effectively, so Darwinian adaptation is not reaching successful critical mass. Further, we've gone through about 18 months of 'senior aides'. The raw material just ain't there bitch. I'm sure they can find one or two more. Hell, after we got Victorio, Geranimo showed up. Got him too and things sort of settled down pretty much after that. These types do not have a deep team to call upon.

#12 Header: Amanpour knows of many, many others to fill in for Z-man

I seriously doubt it. Now, if people of her caliber were volunteering, I could see it. But people like her have alternatives. There are legitimate outlets for people of caliber in the Arab world. As long as these choices are present, they will choose going into a trade or going into business rather than joining up with a terrorist group - a job that, by the way, pays crap and comes with really lousy benefits. This is why people like Zarqawi are hard to replace, because terrorists don't have a big pool of potential recruits (and therefore, leaders) - most Arabs will exult at American deaths, but very few actually want to have to personally face GI's in action.
