Qaddafi Accepts African Union Peace Plan

He's not the most trustworthy guy, but this is still cause for hope: Libya's Col. Muammar Gaddafi agreed Sunday to a "road map" for peace with rebels presented by the African Union, whose top leaders paid him a visit in Tripoli. The agreement calls for an immediate ceasefire, for cooperating with humanitarian aid, and for starting a dialogue with the rebels. It does not, however, make any mention of Gaddafi leaving office. NATO allowed African Union planes to enter the no-fly zone over Libya, but said it would not accept any agreement that didn't include transferring Gaddafi out of power. Rebel leaders are skeptical of the plot, though, since Gaddafi has long been a champion of the African Union and Libya holds a spot on its 15-member board. He also has wide support among the AU nations. The AU delegation plans to meet with rebels on Monday, and has called on NATO to suspend airstrikes to "give the cease-fire a chance."

New UN Ambassador Will Work Versus Genocide

If George Bush had wanted to aid the Iraqi people, he would have persuaded the UN to partner with him in Iraq.

Saddam had murdered 300,000 of his own citizens. He had built his Palace Guards to a force of 75,000 ruthless cutthroats.

Instead, the Americans waged a preemptive war that killed 1.4 millions innocent civilians and that failed to secure oil concessions for US firms.

Senator Barack Obama had opposed the Iraq War and he continued this during the Presidential campaign. This stance cost him votes throughout the primaries. Since the November election, he has staffed his national security team with tired old hawks from previous Administrations.

The one exception has been his designated UN Ambassador Susan E Rice. His foreign policy throughout the campaign, Dr Rice has opposed genocide. Since genocide is a taboo subject in America, Obama did not make a big issue about it.

I suspect he will prompt the UN to assign a large number of African Union and UN troops to stop the genocide in Darfur. This would be a complete turnaround from previous Administration foreign policy.
