If you’re looking for a way to follow the fast-moving events in Libya, CNN’s liveblog has been excellent.

Watching Gaddafi’s forces disintegrate before the onslaught of a people’s uprising—organized by disparate groups with differing interests with one uniting goal, ending their repression—has been awe-inspiring and worrying all at the same time.

Gaddafi’s rule has ended, but the future could be a greater struggle for the Libyan people than the last few months. Once Gaddafi is completely defeated, the National Transition Council will sit down to—and I say this without exaggeration—build a nation from nothing, all the while attempting to keep the society’s different factions engaged and focused on the same goal. That’s a monumental task, and I wish them all the best in doing so.

They will have their freedom soon. The task before them is to keep it.
