...What's more, Gadaffi is expected to finalize over $4.5 billion in business agreements above those worth $10 billion signed last summer. Still, Sarkozy insists his invitation goes beyond mere contracts. Instead, his aids say it represents Sarkozy's "realpolitik" of engaging and encouraging rogue regimes in places such as Iran, Syria and Libya to start acting more responsibly in exchange for greater respect within the international community.

Nevertheless, Gadaffi seems determined to maintain his foothold in Chad, where his forces have been steadily encroaching for nearly a decade. Since 1973 Libyan troops have occupied the Aozou strip, a uranium-and manganese-rich area astride the Chad-Libyan border. On Libyan maps, the zone is known as Southern Libya.
