The things you stumble upon. I was looking at the March/April 1999 issue of Foreign Affairs and found a really interesting article by Milton Viorst on Colonel Qaddafi and the Libyan government. The picture it paints of politics in that nation, and of Qaddafi, is much more complex and sympathetic than you'd probably expect. And this was of course long before the Bush administration supposedly taught him to behave with their threats of invasion.
That 1999 issue might also be of interest today given that it includes a reviews of 5 books focusing on terrorism titled "It Could Happen Here."
