I don't see radical elements just scattering. They may not be able to pull off anything big for a while, but I'll bet there'll be a flurry of smaller attacks aimed at American interests.

5. Yes, I'm afeared, we should invade Pakistan, and Iran, and some other country that ends with 'an'. |
|
I'd add that video or reports of americans cheering and celebrating in the streets like we actually won something because we killed a martyr fighting our evil anti-Islamic country would probably have some similar effects to the reports/video of that nut from FL burning the Koran.

7. Yes. I expect unrest in Pakistan and many other Islamic countries. |
|
The region is already unstable and this very well could be the powderkeg that sets it off.

13. You can't fight a feeling. There will always be terror, whether bin Laden |
|
is alive or dead. I'm just glad, in this moment, that he is dead.

19. Nope, AQ has been pretty much gone since 2002. |
|
All the "AQ" attacks have been from isolated cells using AQ as an ideological label.
