I think the real question we should be asking here is is he greatful?

Since Al Qaeda seems to be a rather loose movement, I think there could be violent actions from many terrorist groups a bit everywhere in Africa (especially in North Africa, with AQMI), Middle East or Pakistan - but nothing really coordinated.

I've lived almost half my life in the shadow of this man, give us one day of America F*CK YEAH before you condemn us as monsters with no empathy (as if the people in your countries are more than human and don't feel anger or revenge).

To be fair, I took both sides
It was the mass celebrations that kind of irked me but yes, we need something to feel good about. I may have not really liked the scenes but I am OK with it. Especially those that broke out on college campuses.
As you said, all of us our age or a few years younger had our "big person" lives start with 9/11 and we have lived with all its impacts all our lives.

Hate to be cliche but it was the event of our generation, and I sincerely am not happy or celebrating his death but I do have a feeling of closure, and am damn glad for the families.

Yes, it is human nature and I am very glad no one here has given us flak for the feelings. That would be the most hypocritical thing I've ever seen.

I would also like to see the body, full is possible.
Pictures, videos, as graphic as that may be I think ASAP the strongest proof there is should be released.

As for Al Qaeda response, it only makes sense something will be done. I figured in the short run there would be small scattered attacks, and maybe even individuals taking care of it. Probably not in the US
Less sure if AQ would try/be able to pull itself together and plan a really massive attack

Tony, I just wanted to say that you aren't fooling me with your post count over a million.
