CNN reports The United States will restore full diplomatic relations with Libya and remove the North African country from the list of state sponsors of terrorism, the State Department announced today. "We are taking these actions in recognition of Libya's continued commitment to its renunciation of terrorism," said a statement from Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.
Just to be clear:
Cuba? U.S. refuses to establish diplomatic relations. Communist nation run by a dictator, but not directly responsible for a single American death in decades (to my knowledge)
Libya- directly responsible for the death of Americans not twenty years ago.
Vietnam- U.S. engaged in 14 year military action there.
China- One of the largest abusers of human rights on the planet.
Pakistan- ruled by a man who took power in a coup.
The U.S. now has full diplomatic relations with all four.
I'm no supporter of Castro, but the refusal to establish diplomatic relations or trade is laughable, considering which countries we do choose to work with.
