ALFA’s Letter to President Bush Saluting the Extension of Sanctions Against Libya

06.01.2004


The Honorable George W. Bush,
President of the United States of America
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue
Washington, D.C.

Dear Mr. President:

The American Libyan Freedom Alliance (ALFA) salutes your decision to extend the sanctions against Libya for another year. From day one, ALFA has worked hard on making the case that Gadhafi cannot be trusted, and we should always be vigilant and firm in our dealings with him. Our conclusion is borne out of our direct experience with Gadhafi's regime and his secrecy in all his national and international activities. His admission to have availed chemical and biological weapons to terrorists should not be a reason for rehabilitation to the international community, but a cause for prosecution.

Mr. President, we were most impressed with your analysis and conclusion that tyranny in the world is vastly responsible for the scourge of terrorism. Therefore, we look forward to working with the administration and congress on drafting a legislation that would only allow sanctions against Libya to be lifted after the creation of a free and democratic government in Libya that respects the human and civil rights of its citizens.

Respectfully,

Mohamed M. Bugaighis, Ph.D.
Chairman, American Libyan Freedom Alliance
