The lesson, if any, is evident in Libya's sudden cooperative spirit. They know we mean business.

To quote from President Clinton's speech cited on the first page of this thread:
"Just recently, President Bush and Tony Blair announced that they had reached an accord with Muammar Qaddafi, even. I never thought I'd live to see that.
And, in fairness to him,
Mr. Qaddafi's been hawking this deal for two or three years now, as a lot of you know. And I applaud the President and Prime Minister Blair for doing it. They had to see the situation with new eyes." - WJC
This "cooperative spirit" is nothing new. Bush just decided now would be a good time to take him up on it -- now that he needs something to show for his hundreds of lives lost and billions of dollars spent.
