Am not surprised

The reason so much of the world outside the United States hates the superpower is its very questionable and superpowered foreign policy. If you can support the superpower in its quest for foreign bases, oil and other business while loading it on your country's people the US would be a very good partner at looking the other side. Libya is worse now to its own people than it had been years past but since Gadhafi has been fearful enough to tow the US line of 'internationalised democracy' he is on the good books and his despotic record has been wiped clean. Doesn't matter what the ordinary Libyan thinks or feels as long as Gadhafi the 'democrat' can keep a tight lid on what gets out to the international public.

Muammar Qadhafi, Oli , Human Rights and the US Interset

I am amazed and disgusted at the US approach towards Libya Qadhafi Regime and at the attempt of restoring diplomatic ties with the TYRANT of Libya. Qadhafi Libya hasn't changed, he still the same despotic old tyrant with abysmal human rights records abuses.

I urge all Americans to press on their politicians to not only be interested in just protecting the American interest and the big multinational oil companies But to give due consideration and support to change the dire stress situation of human right violation and abuses that is going in the big fortress so called the Jamahiriya.

Muammar Qadhafi

Disgusting is the only word needed to discribe Muammar Qadhafi. The only reasons the terrorist agreed to settle the Pan Am airlines bombing and related lawsuits is because of self preserverance. Oh, almost forget the re-establishment of the Libyan oil industry. Thank goodness U.S. oil firms have found their way back into the picture. I'm sure the price I pay for a gallon of gas is about to drop dramatically.
