I don't want terrorist attacks any more than anyone else but you kow what? The terrorist cells exist already and they're absolutely committed to carrying out attacks. So, saying we're nervous about motivating them, by way of killing Bin Laden, to attack us in retribution doesn't really change what they were going to do anyway does it?. It only changes when they'll do their evil.
There's something to be said for 'smoking them out' now. To me, it's more benefit than problem. The sooner they surface so we can deal with them, the better. An irrational, mostly emotional reaction has other advantages for us. In doing that they're more likely to be careless and that works in our favor too.
Bottom line: if al-Qaeda wants to get all worked up over this and cause trouble, I say bring it!
