Personally, I feel like Khaddafi, Gaddafi, Ghaddafi, Kadafi, whatever his name his.... is simply trying to gain "world favor" by showing himself to be part of the "new world order", I suppose. There was the quite public freakout in 2002 when Libya was the head of the UN's "Human Rights" panel, that showed obviously the world didn't believe Libya was truly reformed. This gesture perhaps will change that opinion...
As for it's relation to Iraq, if only from a PR standpoint, the two things are related. However, as Iraq was obviously a "grudge" war, and Libya was our other old "grudge", maybe Khadafi thought Bush was just going down the list. If so, watch out Vietnam!
