Secession Vote in Sudan May Be Peaceful - News Analysis - NYTimes.com

Today's Sudan coverage in the NY Times:

Secession Vote in Sudan May Be Peaceful - News Analysis - NYTimes.com

"The stakes are so high that neither side, the Islamist northern government or the former rebels who lead southern Sudan, seems to want to be sucked into a war again, or at least to start one. Over the past year, there has been such a steady drumbeat of Armageddon predictions that most potential problems have already been prepared for and Western diplomats have spent countless hours counseling both sides. The stage is now set for the vote to be historic and highly emotional, but not catastrophic."
