Here is what the United States ought to expect of the newly freed Libyan people.

1) They should guarantee “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” to all Libyans.

2) They should collect all MANPADS and other anti-aircraft missiles into a centralized storage area accessible to American inspection as there is no legitimate need for such weapons under an American no-fly zone. They should do this for free, specifically rejecting Hillary Clinton’s suggestion that they would need to be bribed to do the right thing.

3) They should declare Nov 10, 2011 as America Appreciation Day and hold parades with bands playing the Marine Corps Hymn (“From the halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli…”) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtorKpNdoqo and Souza’s Semper Fidelis http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RL6qQ7plqaA&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL with everyone expected to join the parade, not just watch it.

4) They should start an Arab Spring Cleaning to neaten up the mess that currently exists to make their land presenable for guests to visit.
