| #2 I agree with Ptah on this. The thing that we have to watch is what happens after the current run of car bombs, kidnappings, and attacks that have been planned BEFORE Zarkwormfood was terminated. There should be a falling off until someone else can get the logistics and manpower under control. No matter what happens, there will be differences - slight to major - between the "before" and the "after" activities. All "managers" do things differently. Hopefully the "new guy" won't be quite the bas$$$$ that Zark was, or won't be as secretive, or something, and will quickly give himself away. One of the most effective ways of fighting an insurgency is to keep taking out the "top guys". The replacements will never be quite as experienced, quite as effective, as those they're replacing. If you whack enough of them fast enough, the organization will eventually collapse. |
