Libya will be a better example to the world than the US...how ironic.
Gadhafi said his country had taken ``a wise decision and a courageous step'' and that it wanted to lead by example ``in building a new world free of weapons of mass destruction and all kinds of terrorism, with the aim of preserving international peace and security and progress for humanity,'' reported Libya's official news agency JANA.

Gadhafi, who seized power in a 1969 military coup, said that ridding the world of such weapons would help promote ``popular democracy'' and ``meet ecological challenges so that the color green will prevail all over the globe.''

Seif Gadhafi said the process started almost a year ago when U.S. representatives approached him saying his father could be assured ``there was no agenda against him.''

1. It frightens me that Kadafi has rejoned the Bush Camp..
I wonder how many more of Bush's cold war allies will rejoin him?

2. Maybe so
but if I were the head of a neighboring country to Iraq, I wouldn't dismantle my weapons at the urging of a super-powered aggressor.

6. My god! No wonder this was a Friday dump.
Gadhafi sounds like Christ!

Instead of taking his weapons and using them to invade anyone who irritated him, he dumps them and gives a speech Nader wishes he wrote.
