U.N.: Conference will focus on truce

UNITED NATIONS - Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice's call for a high-level conference will focus on reaching agreement on the political underpinnings of a cease-fire between Israel and Lebanon's Hezbollah militia, the top U.N. envoy on Lebanon and Syria said Friday.

The conference in Rome on Wednesday will bring together key players from the Mideast and the international community that have been involved in rebuilding Lebanon after its long civil war, Terje Roed-Larsen said in an interview.

"There is now a feeling of emergency, but also a state of energizing the diplomatic process in order to make these underpinnings as robust as possible," he said.

CondiLiar is right -- there is no need for her to travel over there -- she might as well spend her time shopping for shoes or what ever the hell she does with her time.
