AEI visiting scholar Paul Wolfowitz will discuss America's involvement in Libya with former Libyan ambassador Ali Aujali, the current representative of Libya's Transitional National Council.

Today, Tripoli much resembles Kabul in 1992. The world community must stay committed to helping the Libyans with a peaceful and democratic transition.

Much could be done now to shift that balance against the regime--and hasten the end of Gaddafi’s massacres--without escalating foreign military involvement and perhaps even without supplying weapons to the opposition.

Libya's interim government made a correct, startlingly independent judgment just before Thanksgiving, announcing that Libya, not the International Criminal Court (ICC), would try Saif al-Islam Qaddafi, Moammar Qaddafi's favorite son and once-likely successor.

Prompt, conclusive victory in Libya will be attributable to the force of our arms, not our political strategy and accompanying diplomacy, which stumbled from one mistake to another.

The Libyan oil curse is responsible for the deaths of hundreds of innocent European and American victims of Libyan-sponsored terrorism and for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Africans in civil wars.

The danger that Islamist groups may exploit a Libyan vacuum power is real, but no reason for the US to be silent.

We need to be better prepared if and when further escalation occurs in the middle east.
