A surprise victory in Libya

Worthwhile piece in the Post:

"This is probably enough triumphalism for now. The rebels' ultimate success (and short term success at that) doesn't invalidate the wide variety of criticism that was aimed at the NATO mission - the shock with which the international community welcomed Gaddafi's sudden ouster is evidence enough of that. And there's little reason to believe NATO is better equipped to intervene in other thugocracies just because its bombs hit enough of the right targets in Libya."
