Alright America, we’ve accepted their cash… they’ve accepted ours… we can finally make a fresh start with each other.

It’ll be great.  We’ll go out to nice restaurants on our birthdays. Give flowers on our anniversary. And maybe, for once, they’ll stop taking all the blankets in the middle of the night.  Ya know, really try and make the relationship work.

Libya and the United States have signed a deal that compensates all victims of bombings involving the two countries. The deal, which envisages millions of euros in compensation payments to victims’ families, was signed by US and Lybian diplomats in Tripolis.

There were 26 pending lawsuits filed by US citizens against Libya for terrorist attacks in the 1980s. These include the 1988 bombing of a Pan Am Flight over Lockerbie, Scotland, which killed 270 people and the 1986 bombing of a West-Berlin disco in which three people died. Libyan officials said the deal also covered 40 Libyan victims, who were killed when US warplanes carried out reprisal bombings of Tripoli and Benghazi in 1986.

The agreement effectively clears the way for the full restoration of diplomatic relations between Libya and the United States.

Fantastic.

The national divorce rate isn’t 50% for nothing.  I’m just sayin’.
