	I would like to point out, Uwe, that the Libyan attacks did not
begin with the American raid on Tripoli. In fact, it was an attack in
your very country which triggered the raid to begin with. The idea of
the raid, believe it or not, was to *decrease* (in the long run) the
likelihood of terrorist attacks.
