09/08/2011 Nicholas Kristof, writing in the New York Times, looks toward the future of Libya. Citing the rebels lack of violence toward Gaddafi loyalists, their methodical planning for the transition, and their general tolerance of different opinions and viewpoints, he sees a case for cautious optimism.
"Countries like the United States, France, Britain and Qatar did something historic in supporting a military operation that was largely about preserving lives, not national interests. While plenty can still go wrong, my sense is that Libya is muddling along toward a future far better than its oppressive past."
