Gadhafi's Son Says Libya Forsakes Mideast

TRIPOLI, Libya -- The son of Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi proposed a new plan for general reforms in which he said his country will move away from the Middle East and reduce spending on the military.

"Libya has decided to separate from the so-called Middle East," Seif al-Islam Gadhafi said at the opening session of a Tripoli conference for business leaders from Western countries.

Gadhafi said he is proposing a new reform plan that will include major cuts in military expenditure.

"There is no need anymore to continue spending on the military field," he said. "Instead, we will direct such spending to development."

The proof is in the pudding, of course, and we will have to stricty follow the old Reagan maxim: "Trust, but verify." Still, an interesting development, and one that would never have occurred under a Kerry presidency, or, for that matter, under the presidency of any democrat.
