I tend to think the people who were pissed at America before, were pretty much already working on doing as much harm as possible already. Losing Osama isn’t going to increase the temperature any – the pots already boiling. I do think that while this is a huge deal in America, that overall, the uprisings in the middle east in Egypt, Libya, and Syria are a far greater bellwether of the decline in power of fundamentalism, and groups such as Al-Qaida.

Now, the fact the United States only notified Pakistan AFTER the raid is pretty telling in my opinion. “Ally” in name only. That’s a relationship that will likely sour very rapidly as facts come out about how embedded in the Pakistan elite Bin Laden was.
