This Lysistrata Got Her Way

The operative words in love and war are whatever works. Clearly, Ann Njogu didn't have to read Aristophanes to figure that out. Despite the bad jokes, sniggers, and guffaws about Njogu's seven day sex starvation diet she imposed on Kenyan men to get the country's pig headed, feuding, estranged violence prone Kenyan leaders to the bargaining table, there's some evidence that her ploy worked.

The two leaders met, and presumably made some attempt to hash out their differences. Better to sit across from a negotiating table and eyeball each other, than to egg on goon squads in the streets to maim, rape and kill innocents for God knows what. Another piece of evidence that Njogu touched more than a symbolic nerve, with her sex starvation diet was the lawsuit by James Kimono. He claims that he suffered a mini-phone book list of mental and physical ills during the week his lady just said no to him.
A defiant Njogu in her best George Bush imitation said to bring him on, that she wanted to see the face of a guy who couldn't give up sex for a week for the sake of his country. A final piece of evidence of success, the Kenyan leaders agreed to meet with the nation's women activists. Sorry Kimono, this Lysistrata got her way.
