...announcement that it was restoring full diplomatic relations with Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, the Bush Administration has suggested that the onetime international pariah's decision to dismantle his weapons of mass destruction program was primarily the result of the U.S. war on terror and its toppling of Saddam Hussein. But for a brief moment in December 2003, the actual capture of the Iraqi leader almost delayed the first public sign of the historic rapprochement between Libya and the West...

It pains me that young girls are forced to find safe haven in jails and orphanages to escape sex trafficking, and I'm horrified that this just recently became a problem, following the fall of Saddam Hussein's regime.
