Shown in the photo above is US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi in Tripoli, Libya as they hash out details to expand diplomacy and play nice in what is a real life game of Risk. If you are unaware of the history of Libya and the U.S.A, well The United States is restoring full diplomatic relations with Libya and removing the North African country from its list of state sponsors of terrorism after 27 years. This is really interesting news, and I would only imagine it is being done to shore up positive relations in the Arab world. Oh! And for some sweetheart oil deals. Currently Libya is supplying 5% of the US's oil supply, and I am pretty sure they'd like a little more.
