Chalk up Libya

The Great Tripoli Uprising | Informed Comment: One way or another, it seems clear that the Libyan Revolution has entered its last phase, and that this phase could well end abruptly in the next days. If Qaddafi’s own capital is so eager to be rid of him, his support is much thinner than many observers had assumed.

And chalk up that a slog works. If this comes off as it seems to be coming off it promises a large quiver of options for the achievement of a global democratic revolution. Underlying are issues of human rights - the establishment of secular states with values based on the ontological aspirations of all people for democracy, tolerance and helpfulness - and transition away from oil-car-consumer economies to sustainable community-oriented societies.
