Gadaffi's efforts to rejoin the civilized world predate Bush. I'll grant
you that Reagan's bombing of Libya may have shown him the light, but it
was not Bush. Gadaffi turned over the Lockerbie bombers pre-Bush.
Denounced terrorism and reestablished diplomatic links with the UK in
1999. Ending his weapons programs was just a continuation.

Absolutely! Dudes like Gadaffi, Saddam, Bin Ladin, Rumsfield, et al don't
give a crap about their people. RR understood that and bombed Gadaffi up
close and personal killing some of his immediate family instead of going
after his pawns - and guess what: Gadaffi saw the light (a bomb blast) and
reformed. Bush could have handled Saddam the same way, but instead .... oh
well ......

What a dumb ass! So our choice is "spineless" Kerry or a village idiot who
thinks he's king?
