Good deal, but unlike a conventional enemy, taking out the head just means a new piece of shit will take his place. It's a good boost for morale, though.

Who gets the $25 million bounty?

ACES! Another post by Azakias:
So....Who gets the $25 million bounty?
Didn't we stiff the guy who gave up Saddam on the bounty?
Plus, unlike Bin Laden, he had a hard time keeping his targets focused, plus he was alienating his own side. It's sort of like when Capone went down (except, of course, that Bin Laden is not actually dead); everyone attempted to pick up the pieces. A thug took over and couldn't handle it. Bin Laden wants to be a major player and he wants the Western Infidel out. He played the idea of "West vs Moslems" whereas Zarqawi would just as happily target opposing factions of moslems.
In fact, what with comments that it was someone on the inside who was feeding information leading to the strike, it seems fairly obvious that's why we actually got Zarqawi: Housecleaning.
Nice name recognition, but it's hardly what I'd consider a major event.
