Hagel Calls for Cease Fire

In his latest break from White House policy, Nebraska Senator Chuck Hagel has called for a cease-fire in the current middle east conflict. "The sickening slaughter on both sides must end and it must end now. President Bush must call for an immediate cease-fire. This madness must stop." Hagel declared.

He called on President Bush to appoint a Stratesman of global stature to be an envoy to the region, and an instrument of peace.

May I suggest former President Carter? He has experience and success in this area.
