Gov. Bill Richardson needed for this world crisis

It's time to consider using the talents of Gov. Bill Richardson to mediate the warring parties. His skill in negotiations is well known. He won the release of prisoners in North Korea, the release of Red Cross workers by the government of Sudan, and also negotiated a 60-day cease-fire in war torn Dafur. He has also won release of prisoners and negotiated successfully with Cuba and Iraq's Saddam Hussein.

So this true American hero should be placed once again in action to the service of his country and must be sent to deal with another difficult leader who walks to his own beat and doesn't listen to anyone. That leader is President Bush! Good luck Gov. Richardson! Our prayers are with you for the safe return of our troops from Iraq.
