All high-ranking American officials agree that the prisoners in cages in Cuba are not prisoners of war, because their goal is to kill American civilians.

In Poland, no one is looking for revenge, but there is a belief that Katyn, as Lech Walesa once noted, "is a wound from which a thorn has been pulled, but which is constantly bleeding." President Putin could see for himself during his recent visit to Poland
Under capitalism, it is not unusual for companies to grow quickly and fail quickly, but Enron's bankruptcy, the largest in US history, fundamentally shook the foundations of the political and economic system.
Fischer was the first to make a breakthrough by igniting the debate about the final shape of the Union, and in a very unconventional way. If his proposal were accepted, the hidden dream of Robert Schumann and Jean Monet would be fulfilled. Europe would finally become a true common state. It just needs to be given a wise constitutional act which, like the constitution of the United States of America, will be suitable for adapting to very different political and social situations.

Finally, on December 19, representatives of official Ljubljana and Zagreb signed an agreement on the Krško nuclear power plant (NEK). The agreement should amortize all the unresolved issues that have accumulated over the last ten years. However, it is not the end yet - the more difficult task is to convince the Slovenian parliamentarians to ratify the agreement
"The quality of life is not what we want, we are not efficient as a society, nor are we able to build a decent society, nor do we have security because we, the Argentines, have failed. Only when we make an effort to provide a precise diagnosis of Argentina's failure as a society, we can expect to elect good and valid rulers," says Argentinian publicist Aguinis
Analysts estimate that the fear of nuclear weapons may be responsible for the Indian army not already crossing the border. In a nuclear war between India and Pakistan, human casualties would be unimaginably high, say military experts. India has more than a billion inhabitants, and Pakistan close to 150 million. Just one atomic bomb dropped on Bombay could kill 850.000 people, according to one estimate
They are considered to be possibly the best anti-terrorist unit in the world and have an almost mythical status, both among Israelis and among their colleagues around the world. In the midst of the debate about how to counter terrorism, the American magazine "Venity Fair" offered its readers the story of an elite unit for whose members there is no impossible mission and who do not need political negotiators to complete the task.
Despite the political chaos, the reactions of the financial markets are lukewarm, which is a confirmation of the fact that Argentina's economic collapse was widely expected.

The Slovenian Vouk does not have to pay a fine for speeding, because he had the right not to recognize Sveti Kancijan as a populated place, since the name of the town on the board at the entrance was written only in German, and not in Slovenian.
Brilliant as a resistance leader, Arafat proved to be a bad ruler, leading his people to disaster. He failed to prevent Palestinian violence against Israel by turning a blind eye to terrorism. He is a bad negotiator, he falls into traps. Most importantly, he lost control

A group of journalists from Belgrade newsrooms stayed in Tirana from December 3 to 7, on a return visit to their Albanian colleagues. Journalists from Belgrade were guests of the Media Institute from Tirana, which, in cooperation with the Belgrade Media Center, organized a visit by journalists from independent newsrooms from Tirana a few weeks ago. Although this was not the first time that Belgrade journalists have stayed in Tirana since the collapse of the totalitarian regime in Albania, this is certainly the largest journalistic exchange in the last decade, but also in the history of relations between the two countries in general. Although most of the colleagues from Belgrade are from the so-called independent media, the hosts from Tirana made an effort to make the guests from Belgrade feel more like a state delegation at the highest level, than as part of an ordinary guild exchange. With all the privileges that such a visit brings with it (including, among other things, a reception with the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Albania Arta Dada and the Mayor of Tirana Edi Rama), such visits make it difficult for journalists when they want to convey their impressions. Regardless of the rich program, the signatory of these lines cannot escape the impression that she only had the opportunity to scratch the surface of Albanian everyday life, especially if we take into account that we know less about neighboring Albania than we do about Afghanistan. If you want to find your way in a dark room, it's best to turn on the light. Your reporter, however, had only a flashlight on this occasion. That's why the following lines are just a collection of random impressions

"What is being done now in some laboratories with the cloning of human embryos is exhibitionism. I am not sure that this whole fuss about cloning has nothing to do with Bin Laden, so that America would obscure what is happening in Afghanistan."
Scientists try to explain that there is no fear of human cloning, it is cloning for therapeutic purposes
To add to the plight of international mediators, in Afghanistan it is almost impossible to count all the interested parties who want a piece of the cake in the new government, and a long history of bloody conflict during which various tribal and other leaders have constantly changed sides has made everyone look at everyone with suspicion today.

As a special-purpose parastatal that uses metal bars to create "order and peace", Vučić is legalizing the hoodies. It is - approximately - something similar to Mussolini's "combat alliances" from 1919-1922.
Lucky that Serbia has the "Informer research team"! Dragan J. Vučićević discovered the infernal plan of "criminals" and "blockaders" at the last minute and thus saved the country again. That he is lying is less important
Keeping sociology professor Marija Vasić in prison on charges of terrorism is an anti-civilization crime. Or grotesque, whatever you want. Why don't judges, prosecutors, policemen, security guards rebel against it
