Yes, I know that the NSA wiretaps story matters, and yes I’m hopeful that Rove will be indicted before the week’s out, and yes I’m still invested in the archnarrative of how the left can create a Goldwateresque counter-revolution.
But that doesn’t explain why nobody on the blogosphere is discussing this:
The United States has decided to restore full diplomatic relations with Libya and remove it from the list of countries designated as state sponsors of terrorism, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice announced this morning.
Ms. Rice called the moves “tangible results that flow from the historic decisions taken by Libya’s leadership in 2003 to renounce terrorism and to abandon its weapons of mass destruction programs.”
She also used the occasion to hold out hope for improvement in the current standoffs between the Bush administration and Iran and North Korea, which have been accused of seeking to develop nuclear weapons.
This is far outside of my area of expertise, but it feels…I don’t know…significant? I hesitate to speculate on the whys and the consequences (again: not my area of expertise), but it still seems like the sort of thing that everyone should be aware of and nobody is.
