Mr. Sarkozy also replied to his critics, saying, “It is rather beautiful the principle that consists in not getting yourself wet, not taking risks,” he said, and “being so certain of everything you think while you’re having your latte on the Boulevard Saint-Germain.”

But the visit was sharply criticized, even within the ranks of President Nicolas Sarkozy’s government. - this minister is a 32 black, female, I liked her attitude; while watching this on the news last night I asked my wife (my french is pretty bad) if Sarko had chastised her - she said no, not yet.

The Nay-Sayers are all on the Left.. members of the Socialist Party brought in to the Sarko government for balance.

They forget to mention that Khaddafi , thanks to pressure from the Bush administration, says they renounced terrorism, gave up their nuclear weaspon ambitions, and their biological weapons.

Khaddafi was the manactually responsible for the liberation of the Bulgarian nurses . Where was the Socialist Left when these women were rotting in jail for 8 years? Drinking their cafe at Cafe Flore one would presume.

Sarko is a man of action, a man who keeps his promises.

Isn’t this what we want...Terrorists to lay down their arms and become part of the civilized world ?

Shouldn’t we give Khaddafi the benefit of the doubt until he proves us mistaken?

US gives blessing to France-Libya nuclear deal

The United States gave its blessing Monday to a civilian nuclear energy deal between France and Libya, saying it expected its former foe to respect its decision to renounce weapons of mass destruction. “In light of Libya’s historic decision in 2003 to rid itself of its WMD programs, we expect any cooperation with Libya on a peaceful secure and responsible use of nuclear power to be consistent with the highest standard of non-proliferation,” said Kurtis Cooper, a State Department spokesman.

France announced plans to sell nuclear reactors to Libya as well as 10 billion euros of trade deals, as President Nicolas Sarkozy welcomed Libyan leader Moamer Kadhafi on Monday for a five-day visit.

US-Libyan relations were restored in early 2004, following a break since 1981, a few weeks after Kadhafi announced that Tripoli was abandoning efforts to acquire weapons of mass destruction.

The United States announced last year a full normalization of ties, lifting Libya from a State Department list of state sponsors of terrorism and raising diplomatic relations to the level of ambassadors.
