I think its a good thing that Osama Bin Laden is dead. I can also understand why the Americans want to publisize it and celebrate - very strong political statement locally.

However, I doubt if it will make a tap of a difference to Islamist Terrorist activity. Apparently Osama Bin Laden hasn't been in charge for years.

I do expect repercussions from these fanatic terrorists. I suspect it will galvanize them over the coming months.

Ireland's "neutrality" has its benefits afterall!
