"Has Kaddaffi ever signed anything which declares the Gulf of Sidra to be
international waters?" - J. P. Soreff
He doesn't HAVE to sign anything, they already ARE international waters,
regardless of what Kaddaffi does or does not do/say/think/declare/sign.
Has Reagan ever signed anything which declares the Gulf of Mexico to be
international waters?  The parallel is obvious.  Almost no one would
recognize a unilateral claim by the US to the Gulf of Mexico just as almost
no one recognizes Kaddaffi's unilateral claim to the Gulf of Sidra.  Come
on, be sensible.  You just can't go around grabbing things that don't
belong to you, and Kaddaffi is no exception.
