Yankee ... you gave me several things to think about that I had not considered ... such as Clinton's influence in Europe vis-a-vis his Balkans policy ... I hadn't remembered Clinton having that much influence .. but perhaps I'm wrong ... I'll be off to research and fill in the blanks in my recollections.
My thoughts for my original post were more along the lines of the fact that, even though I think it is deplorable that this hijacker was released and returned to Libya ... the sad truth is that for most people, this event will be forgotten in a few weeks. Not for the families and friends of those lost over Lockerbie .. but for most other folks. Too me, that made it a much easier decision for the Scots/Brits ... than if it was a more wide-ranging decision like deployment of troops somewhere ... or treaties .. or sanctions, etc.
At any rate ... it is a sad, sad fact that, first, it took so long to convict someone for the Lockerbie bombing, second, that that person was released, and third, that his release is being celebrated in Libya. A sad event all the way around.
