I'm pretty much with psycho_dad on this one. I'm afraid he will become a martyr and any short term positive effect this has for the U.S. will be eventually overshadowed by his martyrdom.
Also, if we are to believe the experts, he was only a small factor in the overall violence in Iraq and therefore his death will not have as large an impact on the insurgency as we might hope.
As an aside, regarding the title of the article "Butcher of Baghdad is Dead": how many butcher of baghdads are there? I thought Saddam Hussein owned that title?
