I was at home when I learned the big news about the killing of Osama bin Laden. My brother-in-law had just called me, so I rushed to turn the TV on to see what had happened.I felt a sense of relief and a feeling of closure. Although I recognize that al-Qaida has not died with its leader, I also know that al-Qaida could not die without first removing Osama bin Laden.But now there was something different: The fact that we have experienced two historic moments at the same time -- the Arab revolution and the killing of bin Laden -- makes his death all the more powerful.
