I just think that many of those celebrating in front of the WH were protesting our actions in Iraq and Afghanistan not that long ago. Somewhat ironic, no?
Even more ironic. I predict that within a week, these same people will be out there with signs saying, "Bin Laden's dead, WE WON! Bring the troops home now!"
I'm not sure whether to expect an immediate response from AQ, or whether they will pull something big in the future, on a significant date (maybe 9-11-11). If they want to wait, they will probably be more successful. American's will go back to sleep now, ignoring terrorist threats. For the next few weeks, with Bin Laden fresh in our memories again, we might be prepared for immediate retaliation. However, long term, we'll be letting our guard down. Especially with the current occupants of the (half) White House and DHS.
Sadly, I suspect you will be proven right.
