It won't be a motivator for the agitators over there to blow their tops.

BUT it frees up the resources of the antiAmeircan Left brigade to focus on other angles of attack (Ramsey Clark, et al, don't have a case to appeal).

So there are more feet on the ground working against the US and Iraq's interests in areas we have not had to contend with. There is no rest for the wicked.

There might be a small spike in the violence for a few days or few weeks but that is about it. If the Sunnis assassinated a major Shia politician in retaliation, that would cause their demise.
