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

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!
