Personally I think this is a bad move. I know they killed off Superman and made more money off of him when the brought him back. But given the world climate and the USAs war on terrorism, in my opinion this isn't good for anybody.

You have hit the nail exactly on the thumb, friend. It is a terrible move. What’s worse, this sort if thing is not done by accident. Marvel knew what they were doing, they tested the waters with Civil War and saw that the readers might stand for it. Maybe they expect to have a wider global market for comics among our nation’s enemies. If they can’t put our nation’s welfare ahead of their profit motive, then Stan Lee has gone from being a Jew to being a Taliban sympathizer.
Captain America was more than just a comic book character, he was a national icon. He stood for truth, for decency, for honesty. He was patient, good to everybody, even forgiving to his enemies who repented and turned to the path of life. Captain America was a symbol of the way our country was and could still be. Now, Marvel seems to want to put the costume on another man, one who will not uphold those ideals. They tried it back in the 80’s with Super Patriot, but it didn’t work.
I hope that they come to their senses. If Stan Lee is truly selling out Cap for money, for more market share selling comics, then he has truly become an idolator, in the worse sense of the word.
I mourn, I grieve.
Let’s all hope and pray that they bring Cap back, they way he should be, and not dawdle about it. Or Stan Lee may wake up after his life is over and realize that he made the most terrible mistake of his eternity.

well
remember that Cap was "dead" until Namor found him frozen in an iceflow, being worshipped by Inuit. Only when his frozen body presumably in suspended animation was tossed by the angry Prince of the Seas, did it defrost to be picked up by the Avengers...
I'm pretty sure they'll reinvent the Captain - mebbe it will be some young American Muslim to don the starspangled sheild and fight terrorists.. (Captain America is after all - not so much Steve Rogers as a SYMBOL)
In any event - all this publicity will no doubt ramp up C.A.s profile in the public imagination - which is probably a good thing..

Seriously. He gets shot by a sniper? My girlfriend could have written a better ending. There is a movie coming out in like 2008 though, so who knows where they are going to go with it.
Even if the comic series comes to an end, Captain America will always be one of the best.

Marvel has been running a storyline in recent years that splits superheroes into two factions : those who reveal their true identities to the public, and those who refuse to. In the storyline, the public really turns against those who refuse, and I think Ol' Winghead was the leader of that group. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that this falls in line with that storyline.
Superman "died" in 1992, and was resurrected less than a year later. I see a similar occurrence happening here.
