Iran & Syria next
The Telegraph:
"Tony Blair will seek to use the diplomatic breakthrough with Libya to secure similar concessions on weapons of mass destruction from Iran and Syria. Ministers believe that his New Year offensive will restore his fortunes.
"Secret 'back channel' talks, which have been going on for months with both countries, will be stepped up as London and Washington try to capitalise on the surprise U-turn by Col Muammar Gaddafi, the Libyan dictator."
The problem with such agreements is that "diplomacy" leaves teh despots in charge. Their people are still oppressed and all it takes is a change of mind to restart the weapons programs. While we are safer for awhile the people of these countries still suffer under a dictatorship.
