re #523: While I think that the Libya deal is basically grandstanding,
I disagree with your characterization as (a) I am unaware of any instance
of an official of the Bush administration characterizing Clinton as a
traitor while acting in their capacity as a member of the administration,
and (b) the deal with Libya is supposed to include an inspections regimen
if I understand it correctly. It's too early to tell whether the
inspection plan will be any more successful than the one that North Korea
was supposed to abide by. Also (c) as far as we know Libya is not getting
its payment up front for this change, the way North Korea did under the
so-called Agreed Framework.

Unlike N. Korea, which is already well-armed - possibly with nuclear
weapons - Libya does not have a major population which it can hold
hostage in a standoff. This would, basically, allow the U.S. to handle
it as we handled Iraq. There is, therefore, little reason to presume
that we would succumb to N. Korean-type blackmail. Is there?

I leave the definitions to the even more competent ODE.
