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.
