[0:40] >> From ABC News headquarters, this is ABC
[0:44] World News with Diane Sawyer. Good
[0:47] evening. It was a history-making day for
[0:49] this nation, a nation still at war in

[1:36] again. And the US for now is in the
[1:39] lead. The first volley of missiles, a
[1:41] withering attack on Gaddafi's air
[1:43] defenses. More than 110 Tomahawk
[1:46] missile
