Time Out?

The UN continues to work with Libya to get a ceasefire started:


The United Nations is negotiating with Libya's government, rebels and NATO to stop fighting for up to three days to allow food and medical supplies to reach civilians, its envoy said Wednesday.


But three days won't be enough time to get supplies in and aid workers in and out. So it will be extended another couple days.

By then, maybe the pressure to keep the ceasefire in place will be high--because if the ceasefire holds, obviously the Libyan government isn't killing civilians, which is the only reason the UN authorized the war.

I can hardly wait for the DMZ to be drawn.
