That's why I still believe that even if Ace doesn't die, Whitebeard will. In a way, you could say that he's the embodiment of the current age of piracy now that Roger's gone. As I've said in several past threads, his death would literally symbolize the end of the current era, and will make way for the new age......

I disagree. The purpose of all of this was to execute Ace, and to end the blood line of Roger, and any chance that Ace would follow his father's footsteps. They were willing to go to war with Whitebeard to do so, as Sengoku pointed out. It was never about Whitebeard.

Roger was executed in his home town of Logue Town. It wasn't anything like this.
