I've Been Thinking:

"Beware of the repercussions" seems to be the buzz "on air" in the aftermath of Zarqawi's death.
I say, we are facing no greater threat of terror today than we faced last week.

Zarqawi's people are very highly motivated. They were always very highly motivated. There is no greater height on the motivation scale. There is no such thing as "very, very highly motivated." They are motivated to kill us.

Of course they will try to hit the US targets. Of course they will try to hit soft targets who affiliate with US interests. But that was always the case.

We cannot live in fear of retaliation. We cannot. We must continue to strike at terrorist command and control apparatus. We must. Otherwise, terrorists will have the upper hand psychologically. Otherwise, terrorists will intimidate our actions and our reactions.

Terrorists must be made to live in fear - fear that they will be caught, targeted, found out, killed. Terrorist leaders are the ones who should beware the repercussions of their own actions.
