Rambling Gaddafi lectures Europe

Mercurial Libyan leader Moammar Gaddafi came in from the cold today when he made a VIP visit to EC headquarters in Brussels, declaring his readiness to work with the West peacefully after years of championing armed struggle against it.

“I would like to seize the opportunity today and declare before you … that Libya is determined and committed to play a leading role in achieving world peace,” he said in a rambling address.
