The criminal has released a new tape, on which he vows to bring down the new Iraqi government. This government, however, is far different than the previous government led by Allawi. That government was appointed by Americans, and was condemned and attacked by Zarqawi as a collaborationist farce. Which was more or less true.
The new Iraqi government is based on an Iraqi-authored constitution. Its members were elected directly by the Iraqis. This government represents the Iraqis; Zarqawi's vow in essence is to bring down the will of the people. The Iraqis, if nothing else, have shown that they don't take very kindly to foreigners telling them their business. Look how they have responded to the American occupation. Zarqawi will be seen no differently - if not far worse. Additionally, Zarqawi has been killing family members of leading Sunni Arab politicians.
I would posit that assassinating relatives of influential Sunnis is probably the worst way to stay alive in Iraq.
