Its Official Libya Joins the Fraternity of Democracies

At long last you can say that Libya joins the US as a revolutionary country that turns into a (hopefully) peaceful Democracy.

In a late-night ceremony held under tight security in Tripoli, the National Transitional Council (NTC), political arm of the opposition forces that toppled Muammar Gaddafi a year ago, handed over to the national congress, elected in July.

NTC Chairman Mustafa Abdel Jalil symbolically passed on the reins to the oldest member of the new 200-member assembly, Mohammed Ali Salim.
