This is the moment for president Barack Obama to be an international statesman and support a negotiated settlement of Libya's civil war. Civilians in the North African country cannot benefit by the continuation of the armed conflict even though that's the course preferred by France's Nicolas Sarkozy.
Four African presidents and a foreign affairs minister are in Tripoli and also plan to travel to Benghazi to try and resolve the Libyan civil war through negotiations. President Obama must support this move, despite the bellicose positions of France's Sarkozy and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
It's the right thing for the African Union (AU) delegation, which includes South African president Jacob Zuma, to press for a ceasefire --by both sides, not the preposterous Sarkozy demand that only Tripoli stop hostilities-- and political talks. In addition to Zuma, the team includes presidents Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz of Mauritania, Amadou Toumani Toure of Mali and Denis Sassou Nguesso of the Republic of Congo; Uganda is represented by Foreign Affairs Minister Henry Oryem Okello.
Politicians in US of A better realize that The multiple wars, in West Africa, North Africa, and the Middle East, are
