"Tell them we are ready for democracy": a Libyan dissident's message to Washington.
Claudia Rosett of The Wall Street Journal reminds us that the despots in the Arab world, such as Moammar Gadhafi, for the most part still hold their people in slavery and servitude. There has been improvement, most notably in Iraq and Afghanistan, but there is a long way to go. Thus we need to keep a close eye on human rights violations in places such as Libya and keep up the pressure for reform of the Arab world.
