> I dont think the killings will stop now (saddam or not) because the insurgents are fighting against occupation by a foreign military on their home soil. I dont think they were only doing this because Saddam was still around....since these people had no way of knowing if he was alive or dead before.
Paperwork found in the raid has led to the Army capturing a number of resistance leaders. Kinda pokes a hole in that argument, doesn't it?
It won't stop attacks. But the most postive impact, IMO, will be to encourage those who were afraid to speak up and act against insurgency in the fear that Saddam would come back to power once we left.
