Libyan oil provides the GNP and the US Corporations have siphoned off
what they could, but now they are getting out leaving the oil
works in tact.   Consequently, the same 70% of the GNP may grow
to a slightly larger value.  Sorry Bruce, if turning over the
works to the Libyans would have helped it would have been done
some time ago.  Why do you refer to yourself as the  "drunk monk"?

Cheerup!
