“The lasting impact of events in Libya will depend on ensuring rebel factions form a unified, civil government that guarantees personal freedoms, and builds a new relationship with the West where we are allies instead of adversaries.”
It would seem that Perry’s reasoning for a “cautious celebration”–considering he describes the Libyan regime as “a violent, repressive dictatorship”–is that events in Libya are still unfolding. Indeed, no one even seems to really know where Qaddafi is right now.
