Lessons from Libya

With Col. Moammar Gadhafi's government collapsing, significant challenges are ahead for Libya and for the rest of the world. Baker Institute founding director Edward P. Djerejian spoke to CNN this week about what's next and the lessons the world can learn from Libya. He also discusses what the situation might mean for Syria. Video of his interview is below.
