I'm not sure, where these folks met proves anything? Save that Libya is effectively a failed state with porous borders, with more holes than swiss cheese! And that the mass murdering terrorist was born there!

Well he had to be born somewhere!

Freezing their assets won't do more that make a terrible position far worse and even drive them into the arms of sword wielding Islamic fundamentalists?

As always, you catch more flies with a teaspoon of honey than a whole jar of vinegar!

I would do something very different. Like build and gift a (super fuel,) [green energy,] thorium powered nuclear reactor. Then use some of that, cheapest possible, walk away safe, clean energy to desalinate copious water, thus allowing a significant section of Libyan desert to bloom and feed desperate folks!

This then is the Christian way and completely opposite to what our enemies would or can countenance!

Simply put, this is a life and death contest of philosophies, that can only have one, them or us outcome! And needs to start, with strategies that win hearts and minds, not poison them!

Freezing an effectively impoverished nation's assets is never ever going to be one of them, but rather, the proverbial red flag to the bull!

Give them something to lose, if you want them to care!

Far out!, talk about sucked in or a shill. Qaddafi had two issues.

One being that Libya, did not have a central bank and nor did any other of the so called 'axis of evil' countries. All these countires have or are feeling the wrath of the US at the behest of the Banksters.

The other, was that he was going to start a currency (the Dinar) which middle eastern countries could use amongst themselves and so not have to use the US dollar. (Thats what the gold was for.)

The international trading community is aware that if other key trading nations stopped using the US dollar, the US is finished and fade into obscurity.

Why do you think America is trying to overthrow the Syrian government?

Because they want to put a pipe line from Saudi Arabia through Syria and into western Europe and lean on western European governments to such an extent that they change their supplier from Russia to the US, thereby breaking Russia and at the same time assuring their own financial future.
