Congratulations Libya!!

If you listen to the news and even NPR you would be told that the revolution in Libya is faltering/winning/teetering in rapid succession with the constant drumbeat of why haven't they won yet??? American public schools must be a huge failure since these news agency/journalists seem to have missed the fact that the American revolution is listed as lasting from 1775-1783. By my calculation that is 8 years and the libyan revolution has lasted barely 7 months. Could we please shut up now about how long it is taking and get behind their real accomplishments?
