		ASHINGTON, June 9 — While the Libyan leader, Col.

		Even though fighting the war on terror necessarily means fighting Qaddafi's actions to bolster terrorists and develop WMDs, the State Department is actually using the war as further justification for "engagement" with the despot.
		Qaddafi is cunning, though: His method is to either pay "ransoms" to al Qaeda affiliates, or give money to "liberation" groups who happen to exist for the purpose of killing innocents.
		By linking compensation for the families of the victims of Pan Am flight 103, State has made not supporting Qaddafi's revival a tricky — and difficult — proposition, even though the White House is not keen on welcoming the despot back with open arms.

	Libya - Arab League - Qaddafi - Worldpress.org
		Qaddafi had threatened to withdraw from the Arab League twice before—in March 2002, because Saudi Arabian Crown Prince Abdullah’s peace proposal for Israel ignored the Right of Return for Palestinian refugees, and in 1998, under similar circumstances.
		Despite Qaddafi’s frequent role as a dissenting voice in the body, or perhaps because of it, many writers saw Libya as a necessary component of Arab political efforts.
		While some writers expressed the opinion—or perhaps hope—that this would prove to be just another of Qaddafi’s fits and that Libya would eventually return to the fold, almost all saw the immediate effect on the Arab League as a secondary issue in relation to the looming war on Iraq, which all member states officially oppose.
