Still, he acknowledges that resolution of the issue opens the way for Libya gains on the diplomatic and business fronts. Meantime, Gaddafi says he'll continue working on liberalizing and democratizing the dictatorship built by his father since 1969 - a notion scoffed at by human rights organizations.
