The U.S. Invades Libya (Rather Than Iraq) in 2003

[futurist]

What if, rather than having Iraq, the U.S. would have invaded Libya in 2003 in order to eliminate Muammar Gaddafi's WMDs and nuclear weapons program?

Any thoughts on this?

[futurist]

Also, for the record, unlike Iraq, Libya actually did have both WMDs and a nuclear weapons program in 2003.

Have you a reason why the United States should Invades Libya instead of Iraq.

What about having Gaddafi try to kill Bush Sr. sometime during the 1980s or during the early 1990s?

Indeed, Gaddafi actually did sponsor anti-American and anti-Western terrorism in the 1980s.

But he did not invade his neighbors, unless he invaded Tunisia in the 1990s.

Actually, he invaded Egypt back in 1977.

Actually, he invaded Egypt back in 1977.

And the Egyptians almost where able to overthrow him if the war had lasted longer.

Libya doesn't seem to have been actively working on its program. While Libya had essentially purchased a turn key nuclear weapons program from the Khan Network most of the equipment was still in its crates when weapons inspectors arrived to secure it. It in a big warehouse that hadn't really been touched, like something out of Indiana Jones.

I've never heard of Libya invading Egypt. Do you mean the 1977-1988 Chadian-Libyan Conflict?
