“Those who are leaning on America to end Libya’s pariah status seem to have forgotten one of the most important ideas that came out of Mr. Bush’s speech before the National Endowment for Democracy last month. ‘As long as the Middle East remains a place where freedom does not flourish, it will remain a place of stagnation, resentment, and violence ready for export.’ Mr. Bush did not say in his speech that the elimination of nuclear weapons would make the world a safer place.
