After the improvements in relations over the past few months, that's hardly a helpful attitude. Nobody is asking for Qadaffi to be put on trial for his various crimes.
Strange, Europe fondly recalls Reagan, but Arabs don't.
European example (especially in Eastern Europe) "President Ronald Reagan will be remembered in the hearts of all Latvians as a fighter for freedom, liberty and justice worldwide," Latvian Pesident Vaira Vike-Freiberga said.
Arab example "Reagan's role was bad for the Arab-Israeli conflict and was specifically against Syria. He was the victim of the Israeli right wing that was, and still is, dominating the White House," al-Kilani said.

If we now have access to Libyan oil, why are gas prices so high????? There's more oil on the market, right?
Libya is a relatively small producer,the sanctions would have very little if any effect on prices and the high prices are mostly caused by rising demand and questions about the stability of Saudi Arabia and the security of its oil installations.

I would take anything Gaddafi has to say with a grain of salt and a roll of the eyes. He's no angel himself. Anybody can see that he is probably one of the world's most-corrupt leaders (I use the word leader lightly). So to him I say these sweet, sweet words: Know your role and shut your mouth.

Well the long period of sanctions has all but shut down Libya's oil production. It will be a long time before they are at anything approaching full production rates. Libya's biggest field is almost the size of Texas (not in one solid lump of course, but the boundaries are spread over a very large area.)

Glad to see someone is recognizing the crime here. Thank you Pacificjourney. Ghadaffi might be a terrorist supporter but Reagan definitly is not an angel. Anyone wanna make a guess what would have happened had Ghadaffi killed Reagans daughter (does he have any?)?
