#1 This phrase "The Libyan government has finally recovered its honor," just seems to get my goat.

The French government agreed a certain sum a while back (can't remember how much), presumably Libyan honour was recovered then? However, the Lockerbie payout was considerably more (again no details from me I'm afraid) and all bets were off until more moolah was put on the table.

Dunno, it just stinks to me, but then a lot of inter-governmental relations stink.

#2 Good for France.
Just remember it's our oil and stay away from Wheelus.

#3 I Libya pays in Euro's. With any luck, it will be the final edge to pushing the 'EU' economy over the edge.

Is it wrong to hope for something like this?

#4 No Charles, nothing wrong with that. I'm also looking forward to the total meltdown of the euro (and the EU of course).
