Are we beginning to see the secondaries? Libya to abandom WMD
It is now on record that Libya earlier this year admitted to having WMD
programs, invited in inspectors and will dismantle the programs: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/3335965.stm Is this the beginning of the useful changes in the middle east that some suggested would follow the "more active" approach taken in dealing with terrorist states? |

It will be nice to see all countries with declared WMD (i.e. US, UK, Russia,
China, France, Israel, India, Pakistan) following Libya's moral example!!!

Not to mention the occasional air strike.

An alternative interpretation is that it shows that a regime of sanctions, negotiation, and inspection can work. After all it worked for Iraq, so why shouldn't it work for Lybia? -- Emmanuel Gustin Emmanuel.Gustin -rem@ve- skynet dot be Flying Guns Page: http://users.skynet.be/Emmanuel.Gustin/ |

Why? Are you worried those nations you cited will nuke your country?
More likely, South Africa could get into a war against a neighboring country and that country might obtain nukes (from another countries' secret weapons program) and flatten Johannesberg. Then again, maybe that wouldn't be such a bad thing. But the problem there, is that such weapons could be used against other targets too. More important ones. A much greater danger than those countries you mentioned. "David Nicholls" wrote in message ...

It will be nice to see all countries with declared WMD (i.e. US, UK, Russia,
China, France, Israel, India, Pakistan) following Libya's moral example!!! The US, UK and Russia have all deactivated and are destroying their Chemical & Biological weapons. (from South Africa, the only country to independantly dismatle its operational nuclear weapons program) You really don't expect a pat on the back do you? You guys never needed nuclear weapons anyway, all you needed were a few dozen white police officers with battons, a ghetto and several hundred of your fellow (darker) countrymen.

Certainly they could have built one and had plans to be able to do so quickly if needed. It seems they never actually built a bomb. http://www.folkkampanjen.se/nwchap2.html#HD_NM_30 There was also a plan for the SAAB A36 nuclear bomber too. http://www.canit.se/~griffon/aviation/text/saabcanc/ Nick |

Because it never did, until March of this year (when the negotiations with Libya started - what a coincidence that happened right as we were dismantling Iraq's military). Actually, Libyans began reconcilation with West after 1993, when UN sanctions ruined shaky Libyan economy. That culminated to turning over Lockerbie suspects in 1999. USA has kept the sanctions in effect. ....and *nothing* else has happened. Years and years of sanctions, and they gave up a couple of guys (one of whom is in a "prison" better than the place most people call home). On the other hand, one little invasion of a country a thousand miles away, and Libya gives up their WMD programs. And not to "the international community," but to Britain and the US. -- cirby at cfl.rr.com Remember: Objects in rearview mirror may be hallucinations. Slam on brakes accordingly. |
