QASSAM SOLEIMANI: JUST ANOTHER TERRORIST.

ICHEOKU says has no sympathy for the assassination of world's number one terrorist mastermind and leader of designated Iranian terrorist organization, the Quds Force aka Iran's Revolutionary Guards. With the many atrocities under his belt, it is even surprising that he lasted this too long not to have been killed much earlier; but it is good that at last he finally met his nemesis. 

As with other similarly decapitated organizations, it does not matter who his replacement is, it will never be the same for the organization, which is good for the whole world. Al Queida has not recovered ever since Osama Bin Laden was taken out; ditto ISIS with the double tap elimination of their leader Abu al Baghdadi and his second in command, Haji Imam.

The Quds Force will not be any different as there can only be one Qassam Soleimani. Having been in control and at the helm of affairs of the organization as long as he did means that he had the organization personalized.  As a result, nobody will ever command the same presence and influence which he had while his existence lasted. It would have been different if he had anticipated his end or was terminally sick for some time and had time to groom a chosen successor and impacted him much knowledge about his clandestine activities. It also does not matter the succession plans that might be in place, the Quds Force will never be the same without Qassam Soleimani.  

Anyway, Iran has been dealt a devastating blow and with it, a strong message sent that the entire breath of the government and religious leadership in Tehran are within contemplation for elimination, should they overreach themselves or do anything stupider than they have already done. There is no condition on earth in which Iran would win a shooting war with America; so they better not try any more stupid thing in order to avoid an assured end to both their government and possibly country. It also does not matter what their only friends, Russia and/or China and/or North Korea and/or Venezuela decide to do, helping Iran, it does not matter; as Tehran, Mashhad and Isfahan will be pulverized and questions can be asked later. Enough of their provocations.
