Libya had been "flipping" over -- working to rejoin the international community -- for years.


Yeah, Saddam had also been working to rejoin the international community for years. The important question is, on whose terms? The dictators' terms or the terms of the international community?

Libya accepted the terms of the international community and confessed to a quite advanced nuclear weapons program that had been heretofore unknown to the international community. Libya did this after Saddam had been deposed and captured. This much we know for a fact. You can sit and call the timing coincidence and claim that Gaddafi never said what he said (he himself has not denied it to my knowledge), and proclaim that Gaddafi would have behaved the same way even if we had not invaded Iraq. This story stretches credulity, imo.
