Chris, I hope you are right. That would solve a lot of our problems, and the world's - no matter what each of us think of Bush overall. If he truly solves those issues, he would deserve a place in history, and I would toast him. I am afraid that the Libya issue is just too easy though. There were probably many things said behind the scenes. I wonder what promises the US made to them? How can we fully trust Libya, after they downed the airliner? And - for my conservative friends here, why did neither the Reagan or Bush administrations punish Libya for that earlier terrorist incident? And I'm not talking about shooting a missile and killing children. Why weren't US special forces sent in to take out the leadership if it was proven that they attacked a US airline? And if they were that bad - can we really trust them now in Libya? I was thinking of the Cuban missile crisis - and how the Soviets "backed down" in Cuba. In reality, we cut a deal - and we quietly backed our missiles out of Turkey too. What deal was cut here? t
