US Diplomacy

American diplomacy is bringing peace to the Sudan, where civil war has claimed more than 2 million lives. That's American diplomacy, not French, German or anybody else. But, again, the US is a "threat to world peace".
From the Lebanese Daily Star:
By demonstrating its willingness to invest the necessary political capital, the Bush administration served notice to both sides that it would not look kindly on the sort of foot-dragging that has jeopardized peace talks from Sri Lanka to Northern Ireland. Both sides got the message and decided that conducting good-faith negotiations was eminently more desirable than waiting for a predictably wrathful American president to impose his own formula on the equation.
