Before you slam your favorite country try and understand why, If the UN lifts the sanctions more moeny will flow into funding these shitheads and their activities. Do I think they deserve money perhaps, but not at the cost of more terrorism or to ease pressure on a country that is run by a madman...
You are definitely right Claus about not lifting the sanctions on Libya. The families of the Lockerbie bombing can be paid out of the Libyan assets that are still frozen here in the U.S. I don't know how much the value is but it is a good start. (Of course the U.S. State Dept. weenies would object. Foggy Bottom bites the bone)

Yeah sure, we should make Libya a giant glass parking lot. (Syria and Iran also) I'm surprised you say that. Weren't you one of the guys who complained about us attacking Iraq?
Yup and I still think Iraq was the wrong priority, Libya is a good example.Afghanistan is also a long term difficult project. We have been through this before, I would have liked to see a Terrorist witch hunt that would have flushed Bin laden out and dealt a serious blow to terrorist organisations around the globe.
