Disappearing is a lot easier with $25 million than without, but you have a
valid point.  Fear is part of the equation.  But bet on the religious angle, not to mention the ethnic angle.  Hatred of the infidel westerners far exceeds gratitude for eliminating a despot.

It does make you think, DamonLeigh. Makes you wonder where the hearts

and minds of the Iraqis really are...

Hmmmm......

Wouldn't it be very difficult to spend the $25,000,000 without a head.  Most of the people of Iraq have lived their entire lives in fear under the rule of Saddam Hussein........what makes you think they have been "vaccinated" against the fear of retribution from Al-Zarqawi's people.

I Think...
...there's a similar bounty on the head of bin Laden.

Christ - if someone realistically offered a similar bounty on George Bush, he'd be dead by morning! That sort of money is too good for a Cheney, or even a White House intern, to turn down!

So how come folk in one of the poorer regions of the world consistently refuse to turn in their leaders for these vast sums?

Makes yer fink...
