'Disillusioned' peacemaker quits Iraq mission

Arab diplomat Mokhtar Lamani has resigned, disillusioned and nearly drained of hope, after spending months in Iraq trying to coax Shiite, Sunni and Kurdish leaders into peace.

“I am no longer going to stand and watch Iraqis’ bodies being taken to the cemetery,” he said, after arriving in Cairo from Baghdad last week to tender his resignation.
