As President Obama vows (click title to entry - thank you) 'We will not relent until the shadow of tyranny is lifted', Gaddafi's Prime Minister offers Nato a ceasefire, amnesty for rebels, reconciliation, constitutional government – and an exit strategy.
...The Independent has obtained a copy of a letter from the country's Prime Minister, Al-Baghdadi al-Mahmoudi, being sent to a number of foreign governments. It proposes an immediate ceasefire to be monitored by the United Nations and the African Union, unconditional talks with the opposition, amnesty for both sides in the conflict, and the drafting of a new constitution....
Currently, in Egypt, former President Mubarak is charged with deaths to unarmed protesters. If the people of Libya want to iron out their differences in a power sharing agreement the court systems could begin the process of examining the history of Colonel Gaddafi and any abuses against the people of that country. It may be the best of removing Gaddafi without risking more innocent lives. The Colonel has lost a son and if he is the same man he was decades ago when he lost other family to USA air strikes then he is more than willing to resolve the war.
I believe the proposal should be evaluated for its merits and I am confident the Gadaffi government is expecting a reply with conditions as an accestance of their proposal. The United Nation's Security Council should determine whether it is more prudent to leave Gadaffi to the people of Libya or demand his arrest to the International Courts. There are issues regarding international assaults that cannot be ignored by any proposal by the current government, but, in the same instance there are innocent people in western Libya that have fought and sacrificed for liberty from their oppressive circumstances. I do not believe the rebels should be punished for the international crimes of Gaddafi.
