TRIPOLI : Libya has opened a new phase in its journey from pariah state back to the international fold by calling for US President George W. Bush to visit and pledging action on human rights.

The moves are the latest in a dramatic turnaround by the oil-rich nation, which was bombed by the United States in the 1980s, since Tripoli renounced its quest for weapons of mass destruction.

US Senator Richard Lugar, who on Saturday ended a two-day visit to the north African nation, said Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi had expressed "his hope that Bush and (Secretary of State Condoleezza) Rice would visit Libya".

Lugar, who heads the Senate's Foreign Affairs Committee, said he had discussed human rights and economic cooperation with Gaddafi as well as getting Libya removed from a US list of state sponsors of terrorism.

1. how long before Bushler gets arrested for war crimes while overseas?

Seriously, it is not wise for war criminals to travel. War crimes have universal jurisdiction. Any country could capture and extradite anyone in this administration legitimately to stand trial for war crimes.

So why do they travel? Why hasn't any country tried? I wonder.

2. "Why hasn't any country tried? I wonder"...

...because we have an abundance of nuclear weapons and would pulverize a nation who tried that, because most of our citizens would go along and say "you don't fuck with us".

Nuclear blackmail is the soul reason nations coddle - put up with - us. If we didn't have those weapons, the World would have stood up to us long ago.
