The killing of Bin Laden will not stop the AQ carrying out further attacks, however it has removed a figurehead and an important one at that. Had he been captured alive then that would have led to kidnappings and deaths worldwide in order to free him. So it was a right decision to take him out. AQ will of course continue their attacks and continue to promote hate on non muslims, they now have a saint on which to hang their beliefs. Been listening to the BBC news and it appears that he was given a respectful sea burial, not just dumped. That at least shows some forethought on the part of the people behind the operation. I can never see the end of the terrorism, it will never go away, it is now so deeply rooted and entrenched in all parts of the middle east and quite honestly there is no one who can stop it unless you take out all fundementalists of all religeons and that is never going to happen.
