Waiting for Ghaddafi...
Posted by Heather Hurlburt
A few thoughts as we watch to see what happens next in Tripoli:
Many of the people celebrating in Benghazi and other opposition strongholds would not be alive if not for the UN-mandated, NATO-led military mission. That is the profound success of what the international community has done since March. What the Libyans -- and the international comminity -- make of that remains to be seen.
The Libyan Transitional National Council is not ready -- and neither is the international community. Dan Serwer, who has seen transitional governments up close and ugly, makes a good quick argument over at Peacefare about what the UN in the first place (a framework and commitments for how former combatants are treated), the EU (a force to protect ex-combatants, economic aid) and the US and others should move immediately to do to help make this come out well. He and the Council on Foreign Relations put out a longer report on the subject last week -- but he also lays out tonight why his comprehensive approach is unlikely to be implemented.
Sic semper tyrannis. Looking ahead to next month's UN General Assembly, the shift since last year is momentous. No Ghaddafi tent show along the East River. No Mubarak. No Ben Ali, no Saleh. Rumors are flying in Teheran about whether Mahmoud Ahmedinejad will attend, or be arrested; if he does attend, he will be a conspicuous symbol of an anti-democratic regime, rather than the standard-bearer of regional pride he has sought to be. It also seems unlikely that Syria's President Assad will make an appearance -- although his statement tonight seemed calculated to make sure everyone in the world thinks of him in the same breath as Ghaddafi.
Huge minuses -- and pluses -- for the cause of "Responsibility to Protect" and ability of the broad international community to intervene to stop mass killing and tyranny. Attention has been focused, and rightly so, on how the strong identification of the UN-mandated protection mission, NATO, and attempts to overthrow the Ghaddafi regime may have done much to discredit the idea that the internaitonal community can intervene effectively and justly when mass killing is threatened. On the positive side, though, we see a new imediacy of role for the International Criminal Court, with the rebels opting to work with them on the detention of Ghaddafi's sons -- and who, even John Bolton, could argue with that?
Keep in mind that this particular reading. To help make additional like it.

Although much is yet to be seen, the crisis in Libya seems to be one of the successful stories for the international community and NATO when it comes to not "rushing into things" and intervention. It was a few months back when a lot of criticism came back and forth with how NATO handled airstrikes and limited support while the rebels where having trouble holding on to key cities. Now it has paid off.

Transition Governments hardly run smoothly even when done by its own people. With Afghanistan and Iraq still unstable, Libya will have to deal with more problems in years to come. Hopefully Libyans will be resilient and take control of the their future.

Wheat yesterday traded with the negative node and settled -0.21% down at 1138.6 and prices are expected to remain steady as prices have touched bottom and are trading below government-set prices and a further correction is unlikely. Higher stock position with the government due to a record harvest in 2010/11 season is hurting the sentiment and is preventing prices from going up. On July 1, India's wheat stocks in government warehouses were 37.1 million tonnes, well over its target of 17.1 million. India's wheat output for 2010/11 season is estimated to hit a record high of 84.27 million tonnes.

Chelsea boss Andre Villas-Boas has warned misfiring striker Fernando Torres that he has two more matches to improve his game or face being dropped.
Villas-Boas has insisted that he will not jeopardise his team’s ambitions for the sake of an individual.
The Daily Mail quoted the Portuguese, as saying: “I have no problem dropping players. You have to persist, but it can never compromise the objectives of your team and the things you want to achieve.”

It is time to buy a homecoming dress for youself.Do you want to be the homecoming queen?If your answer is 'YES'.You'd better search for your homecoming dress as soon as possible.Bright colors are so in this year.Remember, this isn't a prom or graduation ceremony. Homecoming is about fun! Dresses can still look formal, but this year you should be jazzing up your look with bright or even neon colors. Hot pink, electric blue; show your wild side and don't forget to color-match your makeup and accessories.Short skirts are a must. . If you're going to be dancing away the night then you don't want a long skirt tripping you up at every turn! Homecoming is a great chance to be a bit less formal, so ditch the long gown and go short!A-Line or ball gown style is ideal. Every year girls are wondering what the best style is for some serious partying at homecoming! Well in 2011 we're saying that you need to choose A-Line or ball gown style gowns as these are going to be really comfortable for dancing as well as being flattering for almost ANY body shape!Choose iridescent taffeta. 2011 is the year of iridescent taffeta. Here comes the best part though, following 2011's trends and still getting the dresses cheaply!
And now let me tell you where can buy these dressses:
Dress store/This is one site which belong to our company..we are provide a lot of new style homecoming dresses. And we will update the products every month.
