With the news of bin Laden's death, how do you think the security situation will be in July for an American male travelling alone? I'd be interested to hear what the fallout is likely to be and how that would affect me. Will Pakistan still be issuing visas?
I'm considering just getting a visa and seeing how things are once, I get there, but if it's a waste of money and time, I'd rather not bother.

Any advice would be appreciated, especially from people who have an intimate knowledge of the country, the current situation, the nature of terrorist responses historically, or are living there now.
Thanks.
