The human cost of this conflict is unfortunately rising, Staffan De Mistura, the top U.N. envoy in Afghanistan, said about the report released in Kabul. We are worried. We are concerned. We are very concerned about the future because the human cost is being paid too heavily by civilians. This report is a wake-up call.

Netanyahu opposes talks on a peace treaty with the Palestinians. One possibility is a joint government. Netanyahu would be prime minister, while Livni and her party would receive key government ministries. The results set the stage for what could be weeks of coalition negotiations. The first meetings began Wednesday, with Netanyahu meeting the head of the ultra-Orthodox Shas faction.Whatever government is forged, it is unlikely to move quickly toward peace talks with the Palestinians and instead could find itself on a collision course with President Barack Obama, who has said he s making a Mideast peace deal a priority.

As the latest standoff be stanley thermos tween North Korea and the United States continues, a bipartisan collection of lawmakers on Sunday pushed China, the rogue regime s most critical benefactor, to rein in the North Korean provocations that have set the international community on edge for the last two months.An attack on the United States, an abandonment of a decades-old armistice with So stanley cup uth Korea, a nuclear test, a missile launch - all are actions that have b stanley cup een taken or threatened by North Korea since February, and all are actions that could be effectively halted by China, according to Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz. China is the only country that can affect North Korean behavior, McCain said on CNN s State of the Union. So what China needs to do is start squeezing their economy. Without China, their economy would collapse in a relatively short period of time. Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., speaking on Fox News Sunday, echoed McCain s assessment: We ve got to deescalate the rhetoric and the testing that s going on in North Korea and we re turning primarily to China and saying, It s time for you to step up and show some leadership in this region of the world. We re prepared to work toward a common goal of peace, Durbin added, But we need the Chinese to tell the North Koreans if they want to continue this kind of escalation of rhetoric, it s at the expense of the safety of this world, as well as their own economy.
