Thrawn, I brought it up because it was in the news on 12/17/05, an interview with Gadhafi.
He clearly does not mention any other reason for giving up his nuke program other than Bush and America. His current statements reenforce what he was quoted as saying at the time.
I'm not bashing any country and never have.
The whole point is that the threat of force and nothing else is the reason Lybia gave in. The same through history.
I really wish the UN would have that credibility, but they don't. Resolutions and words mean nothing to countries like Lybia, Iran, Iraq, NK, and others.
The only way we are going to have a credible UN is by the credible threat of force. Otherwise they will be known as resolution authors and nothing more.
