Significance of deaths of Saddam's sons
For terror to be effective as a strategy, there must be a belief that it will continue. That is what the sons representated in in Saddam's reign of terror. They were the continuation of terror into future generations, that made killing him useless unless the boys were also killed.
Iraq was a state that was ruled by terror for over 30 years. That the terror is now ending is a gift US forces have given the Iraqi people. Hopefully, they will seize this opportunity and rebuild there country.
While the Dems make much of the current cost of Iraqi occupation, those cost will be increasingly borne by Iraq, when their oil starts reaching the market. The recent slide in prices suggest that many in the market expect Iraqi crude to be sold soon.
