I'm with Mo on this. Yes it's good he's been found and ended, but he was just one small and almost insignificant cog in an relatively massive machine. Some sources state that he wasn't even involved in AQ in a significant role since the 9th of September 2001.
Basically he was a figurehead, one head of the hydra which will soon be replaced.
There's very little here to celebrate in my opinion, nothing until the region is stable, and anyone willing to kill without fear of the consequences of an effective law and order system is brought low.
The death of OBL is little more than a morale boost for the west and a probable martyr and rallying point for the insurgents and terrorists. There WILL be organised reprisals against the Americans and allies. May not happen today, but it will happen within the next 12-24 months.
