enigma, I think you're a reasonable person, and I enjoy our discussion. What do you make of the news from Libya today.

Colonel Mu'ammar al-Qadhafi offered $2.7 billion to the families of Pan Am flight 103 if we remove our economic sanctions. This is a large amount by our standards, and a huge amount of cash by Libyan standards. IMO, it's an honorable offer. I think because the Colonel is a military man, he has seen the end of the cold war and wants to bring Libya into a more prosperous age. I think that the record of President Bush on non-royal military leaders, whether in Cuba or Iraq has been consistent, so we may have to see a continued war on terror and some democratic reforms. If that happens, and the families accept the offer, Libya could become a sovereign and prosperous nation that we could do business with, IMO.
