Qadaffi wants rewards for being non-nuclear

The BBC is reporting that Mick Jagger Muammar Qadaffi of Libya wants to be paid for not having nuclear weapons. Other nations are getting paid, so he has a point. This is why the stick almost always works better than the carrot -- it's less expensive for sane, Western countries, plus it carries some honor. Does a kid who got beaten by the playground bully pay the bully not to hit him again?

Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi has said his country has not been given adequate compensation for its decision to renounce nuclear weapons in 2003.

Speaking to the BBC, Colonel Gaddafi said the failure by the West to reward Libya meant Iran and North Korea were reluctant to follow Tripoli's lead.
