Libya has apparently decided to come clean. As such, when this is verified, we should definitely lift sanctions. There is no reason for them, and good and civilized behavior should be rewarded.

This is a remarkable development, and one we would like to see repeated elsewhere.

"As such, when this is verified, we should definitely lift sanctions."

Verification, in Lybia can be as frustrating as it was in Iraq before this last war. Verification, like prevention of disease, crime and dishonesty can get so expensive that it hits a point of diminishing returns, in a hurry!

I love my country, but I fear my government the most whenever it starts spending money on "Prevention" concepts!

For one thing, prevention, by it's very nature, inhibits many freedoms!!!

Sorry for wandering off subject just a little, but your use of the word "verified," got me to thinking about the big picture and how it's a two edged sword, as well as how "prevention" can be abused here at home. Especially, how costly either of those words can be to implement, over time, here and abroad.

I don't mind inhibiting the Lybian madman, but I do mind freedom being inhibited here with things like "prevention" and "verification" by agents of government!!!
