On September 11, 2001, the Libyan government condemned the attacks against the United States. In 2004, the US ended economic sanctions against Libya; only crypto/munitions-related sanctions remained. In 2006, the US restored full diplomatic relations with Libya. In 2007, Libya was elected to serve on the United Nations Security Council for two years.

Today we're at war... How times change.

On December 21, 1988, the Libyan government murdered 189 Americans and almost a hundred other nationals.

What is shameful is that it took this long to remove that parasite.
