To use a probably non-pc image: If you find a big pile of snakes and cut the head off the biggest one, all the rest run and hide. You don't get rid of the snakes but now they're hiding all over the area and the hunt is ten times worse. I feel no celebration that Bin Laden is dead. Heck, I don't even feel relief. I am concerned that there will be retaliation for this action and, indeed, as in the metaphor I presented, we may yet "die of a thousand little cuts" rather than one coordinated attack.
I'm sure it will make a lot of people feel better but celebrating even the death of evil is inappropriate, imho.
