		Clearly, Col. Gadhafi's decision, which Libyans say predated the Iraqi invasion, was part of a broader shift prompted by the miserable failure of his socialist experiment at home, the collapse of the Soviet Union abroad, and his growing conviction that the sanctions which prevented him from expanding oil production--and which isolated him--were jeopardizing his rule.
		Gadhafi was alarmed by the new U.S. agenda, and Libyans say that the 9/11 attacks were a turning point for the Brother Leader, who was among the first to condemn them.
		Libyans close to the Gadhafi family told me that after Saddam Hussein's sons were killed in a shootout with U.S. soldiers in Mosul in July 2003, Safiya, Col. Gadhafi's wife, angrily demanded that he do more to ensure that Saif and her other sons would not share a similar fate.

		Joseph was stunned by the evasiveness of the draft announcement initially presented by Musa Kusa, Libya's U.S.-educated foreign intelligence chief and de facto head of its six-man delegation.

	World Politics Review \| Moammar Gadhafi's Superficial Makeover
		The BBC in May suggested that Gadhafi's makeover was truly spurred by wrinkles and sagging skin: "Looking and sounding increasingly weary, [he] seems to have come to terms with his own mortality," wrote Middle East analyst Gerald Butts.
		Terror poster-boy Gadhafi didn't hand over the Lockerbie suspects until 1999, and up until this time endured U.N. economic sanctions and cemented his reputation as the world leader in the corner that nobody wanted to play with.
		In the end, Gadhafi is the same ol' Bedouin with a better-honed desire to play with others, though not necessarily well, and a heightened desire to leave this world as super-statesman.

		It was Thabo Mbeki of South Africa, the inaugural president of the African Union, who led the counterattack, though it was a backroom affair, consisting mainly of creating an anti-Gadhafi block inside the new political structures, and using it to push the pro-Libyan people and policies quietly aside.
		The unique advantage Gadhafi enjoys is that he is not primarily interested in getting his hands on this wealth.

		Four events were critical to convincing Libyan strongman Moammar Gadhafi to get rid of his previously secret nuclear-weapons program, according to U.S. and British officials, Western diplomats in Tripoli and a key adviser to Col. Gadhafi.
		Instead, it was a combination of implied threats and U.S. and British actions on the high seas and in Iraq that convinced Gadhafi he had not a moment to lose before his government became the next Axis of Evil regime in U.S. gun sights.
		He said he told Gadhafi as the meetings with the United States and the United Kingdom got under way in London last spring that it was better to get rid of the weapons and redirect the resources toward improving the economy than to risk an American attack.
