Gov. Richardson Looking Presidential?

Remember when we used to use diplomacy? Apparently it isn't dead in this country. (NM) Gov. Bill Richardson has just returned from Darfur after securing a 60 day cease-fire between groups who are fighting.

(Albuquerque Trib) "I believe we opened the door for the peace process to take hold and move forward," he said. "It is now up to the leaders of the United Nations and the African Union to monitor and ensure implementation by the Sudanese government and rebels, and to use this opening to pursue the durable political solution that will end the tragedy afflicting the people of Darfur."

Obviously this isn't the end to troubles in Darfur, but it is nice to see SOME of our leaders haven't forgot how to lead.
