With all the interaction between terrorists and sponsor states, it doesn't make any difference who was guilty *when* anymore. Thet are ALL guilty. They threw all their money, arms, and evil into the pot and stirred a great evil. All should be treated as such.

The second theme running through all of these stories is how terrorist friendly the feckless socialist countries of Europe really are. It appears that they need a few attacks on them to rouse them from their klintoon like slumbering.

Hmmm. I don't disagree with you out of principle. Since 9/11, I've been in the "bomb everyone let God sort 'em out" mode and still am- but think about it. If Libya's name had never been connected to Lockerbie- would their country's name be so stigmatized now? We hate Libya... because of Lockerbie. Libya, recently and since 9/11 has made many "nice gestures" towards our country including the radical statement (for an Islamic country) that "the USA has a right to defend itself".

All I'm saying is- if this is true, it is extremely relevant and being as how Ghadafi is making concilliatory noises, it might not be such a bad thing to acknowledge it if it's the truth. It was a different admin that bombed Libya, they support our bombing Afghanistan etc and they have a lot of oil. If we were suddenly on nice/nice terms with Libya- Saudi wouldn't seem like such a good buddy any more.

Flame away.
