In a recap: Libya gives up its nuclear weapons program in 2003, afraid that a crusading America would send in 10 divisions and start a merciless air campaign.
Today: Libya's nuclear program is long gone - the merciless, yet seemingly headless, air campaign is underway and the 10 division "hornets' nest poke" hopefully remains in the dreams of little neocons everywhere.
Someone with a bigger microphone than me has come out and admitted that there might be a disincentive for states to give up nuclear weapons. Too bad it came from North Korea...
Now, it would probably be too much of a leap to declare that, for once, the delusional statement in a North Korea - U.S. diplomatic tiff came from not North Korea. However, the statement from that State Department official is definitely not the most insightful or thoughtful of the two.
