Libya

The news that Libya is to give up its WMDs should be welcomed universally. Indeed, insofar as it reflects the PM's tough policy on Iraq, it should be seen as a triumph for him and his policy.

The losers I guess are twofold. Those who argued that military pressure would not get results. And those who believed that WMD was a bad reason to support a good war, i.e humanitarian interventionists. Given today's news they will find it harder to argue for intervention in Libya, which given Gadaffi's poor human rights' record they must have been itching for.
