Apparently, there have already been rumors that he was already dead years before, so if they wanted to do this deed quietly and keep it as speculation they could have. The US administration definitely wanted (and maybe needed) the kudos. There will probably be some escalation in violence, but I was under the impression that terrorist activities have moved on and evolved since the 9/11 attacks, and Bin Laden is no longer the critical figurehead he was. But yeah, it could make things worse, and at this point it certainly wouldn't make things better... it was more of a symbolic victory for America, a sort of closure.
PS. If you can, try your hand at giving some of the others a bit of feedback. If you already have, thanks, can you do some more?
