U.S Relationship
• Countries should be doing business with this country because it is has great oil reservation and they receive really good money from it.
• But on the other hand there still are those dumb people that are faithful to Gadhafi even though he’s dead.
• Some of those people may cause problems with other countries which may cause the country not want to do business.
• Now that Gadhafi is dead the country is more independent.
Should Companies de doing business in this country?
• Now that Gadhafi is dead people won’t have to be living in fear
• The country will be able to have more freedom
• They also announced in 2003 that they were getting rid of all weapons of mass destruction. This is a god thing because now they don’t have to worry about getting bombed for having weapons of mass destruction.
