LIBYA'S
LIBYA'S RETURN
TO THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY WOULD BE LINKED TO THE TWO AREAS THAT
MOST INTERESTED THE UNITED STATES AND THE U.K.: THE COMMITMENT OF
THE REGIME OF LIBYAN LEADER MU'AMMAR ABU MINYAR AL-((QADHAFI)) TO
SUPPORT THE WEST'S FIGHT AGAINST TERRORISM, AND LIBYA'S WILLINGNESS
TO ENTER INTO COMMERCIAL ACCORDS. LIBYA
SHOULD BE A FULL PARTNER IN THE ALLIANCE AGAINST AL-QA'IDA, AND THAT
RADICAL ISLAMIC TERRORISM REPRESENTED THE GREATEST CURRENT THREAT TO
LIBYA'S INTERNAL SECURITY. QADHAFI AND LIBYA HAVE
PAID A STEEP PRICE FOR QADHAFI'S PREVIOUS "REVOLUTIONARY
POSITIONS,"
AND THAT THE ARAB GOVERNMENTS ABANDONED LIBYA DURING THE RESULTANT
EMBARGOES; THE PRINCIPAL COUNTRIES WILLING TO BREAK THE EMBARGO WERE
SYMPATHETIC SUB-SAHARAN AFRICAN REGIMES, SUCH AS ZIMBABWE.
2. THE OFFER OF BRITISH
PRIME MINISTER TONY ((BLAIR)) TO TRAIN LIBYAN TROOPS IN THE UNITED
KINGDOM WAS CONTINGENT ON CONTINUED COLLABORATION WITH QADHAFI'S
REGIME IN THE AREA OF WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION, THE CLARIFICATION
OF THE DEATH OF BRITISH POLICE OFFICER YVONNE FLETCHER IN LONDON, AND
THE CESSATION OF ASSISTANCE TO ZIMBABWE PRESIDENT ROBERT ((MUGABE)).
