As I understand it, President Bush now considers Gaddafi as an ally.

What's NicknamedBob's? I'd be interested in taking a look at another FReeper's work! You can FReepmail me so we don't end up hijacking the thread...
To: H. Paul Pressler IV
That can't be good. I was hoping for a regime change in Libya...

I_T won't mind - he's Undead, like me. (And he's right, Haughey wasn't cute when he was younger, either, but he's not as awful as Clintoon, at least in a photo.)
I'll FReepmail you about NicknamedBob's novel :-).

I think so, but no accounting for taste.

Say what you will about him, but he made an impression! Personally a very corrupt individual, political fortunes mixed. He did, finally, bring in the necessary economic reforms in the late 80s, and he did help lay the groundwork for progress in the six counties, two giant issues in Irish political life. However, the planning and corruption scandals and so on are a huge black mark. He did give us the word GUBU though!
To: Youngblood
He was a semi dictator, he would have overthrown Irish democracy if he got a chance.
Anyway, I believe it was Garrett Fitzgerald who start the ecomonic reforms when he privatised Irish Sugar.
All Haughey done was add entry barriers into the market, remember Cablelink and the TV deflector controversy?
Not to mention he was able to intimidate politicians with his 'open ballot' strategy.. amongst other things...

My abiding memory of him is when he had a rally in our home town during the hunger-strikes and all the shinners spitting on him. IRA hated him as well.
