Is he really dead?

So apparently, the US Military bombed the crap out of Abu Musab al Zarqawi....literally. Finally. But that will leave a power vacuum that will be filled with many Zarqawi wanna-bees. I remember that video where he supposedly cut that American guy's head off. I do not know if that was real or not but it really grossed me out, even if it was faked. And if it wasn't ....well ewwwwww. I guess I am so jaded by all the propaganda that although I support our troops (God forbid if you do not say that) I am sick of the entire mess. A war started with lies, which changed the minute the lies were exposed. WMDs became a mission of liberation from an awful dictator. There are worse dictators. I need to stop, I am getting depressed.
