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

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.

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

Well, Bush invaded the only Anti- Al Quida country in the Arab world. Incompetence is though not a crime in itself. I would not go for him though. I would go for this Cheney bloke who used his position to grab as much money he could for his company Halliburton. His tender for McDonalds and Burger King hamburgers for Iraq was 4 x more expensive than what the others offered. So he got the job and the tax payers picked up the bill. The same goes for rebuilding of Iraq. British countries was royally screwed by Cheney who bagged the jobs himself. Those who exposed his corruption was sued and put on gagging orders. There are thousands of people in USA put on gagging orders because they used the corruption word.

So, leave Bush alone. Take Cheney instead. This was his war and his bankrobbery. Why he is not in jail is the reason why I passed up on the offer for a green card. I prefer countries without blatant corruption.

Nope.  He's still alive and still President.

^Apparently, anybody who casts any shadow of a doubt over the assassination is a lunatic, so I wouldn't say that...
