#2 yup. another opportunity here:

Gadaffi's at an age where people want to mentor and to have a legacy. He's said for a while now that he'd like his to be as a leader in Africa (the whole pan-Arab thing having turned out less than useful and anyway, not all Libyans are Arab).

We OTOH know we'll be engaged with Africa a lot this coming decade.

Win - win, if the colonel plays ball.

#4 Mucky, Bush is backing it too so he can sell more Budweiser in the Middle East. Gads, these Republicans have no shame.

#8 Cleaning up our "allies" mess again, and I'm getting tired of it.

The mess has been around for fifty-odd years, was pretty much self contained, and could be ignored. Now that nearly anyone can access technology, the mess has become a dangerous one.
