tom friedman of the "new york times" talks about the difference between bin laden and bin ladenism. >> he wasn't so influential but the american reaction to him was incredibly influential. the war in afghanistan, the war in iraq, guantanamo, the entire perception of muslims the way they felt that this was the war on terrorism was a war on islam, that if you were from this part of the world and you went to an airport in europe or the united states or applied for a student visa you were looked upon with suspicion and that air of suspicion stemmed from bin laden. stemmed from al qaeda. it wasn't anything he did directly but it was the way the world looked at itself and looked at the islamic world. pastors in the united states who are burning korans. the entire controversy around the mosque in downtown new york city. all of these issues were extensively covered in this part of the world. but what was interesting is over the last few days the focus hasn't been so much on bin laden it's been on all of the revolutions that have been going on from tunisia to here in libya and there is a feeli
