Ten Myths About the Libyan Revolution
I have taken a lot of heat for my support of the [Libyan] revolution and of the UN-authorized intervention by the Arab League and NATO that kept it from being crushed. [...] I agree with President Obama and his citation of Reinhold Niebuhr: You cannot protect all victims of mass murder everywhere all the time. But where you can do some good, you should do it, even if you cannot do all good. [...] Given the controversies about the revolution, it is worthwhile reviewing the myths about the Libyan Revolution that led so many observers to make so many fantastic or just mistaken assertions about it.
