It really makes no difference, except providing another "martyr" for the terrorists and the insurgents. Which is ironic, because he didn't want to have anything to do with the terrorists unless he could control them and if he couldn't, he'd kill them. He became irrelevant to the insurgency ever since he was captured and after his sons were killed. His own people would have killed him sooner or later, since thats usually the way of brutal dictatorships, another equally brutal person would have stepped up (and still may) and continued the tradition of the strong man ruling with an iron fist scenario.
Same old shit in a brand new toilet!
