We are seeing what may be the beginning of an incredible series of events in the Middle East. After the liberation of Afghanistan and and Iraq, a free but fledgling democracy was established in both countries. These are serving as an example to other mid-eastern countries, and shine as a beacon to a better life - an alternative to Jihad. First, Egypt topples its dictator. The trend spreads to Liberia, Saudi Arabia and most dramatically to Libya.
Over the next few days we will see the elimination of one of the world's worst dictators, Moammar Gadhafi. It was he who fostered terrorism across the globe for decades, including bringing down the Pan Am flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, four days before Christmas in 1988. The world will not miss him. I only hope the Libyans eliminate him and that he does not gain refuge and a comfortable retirement in some country that is friendly to his ilk.
And still not a mention of the George W.Bush Mid-East Doctrine that is beginning to work.
