I'm sitting here watching pictures from Tripoli as rebels enter Gaddafi's compound. While we should rightly be concerned about what happens in Libya post-Gaddafi, we should celebrate the Libyan people's courage and tenacity - and the support of NATO which firstr saved Benghazi and has now enabled the fall of one of the world's most unpleasant (and crazy) dictators. Nicolas Sarkozy and (even more perhaps) David Cameron deserve great credit for this. They got a reluctant U.S. on board, they got the necessary resolution through the U.N. Security Council, and then put together a coalition to degrade Gaddafi's firepower whenever and wherever needed. Syria, Iran, and Venezuela need to be liberated by their people now.
