Hello, Kisako!

How is life in Haifa? Any demonnstrations agains Russian brutalitis in Chechnya?

Ledinque,
"K(L)A (lol)" - Still smarting huh, your IQ may not have diminished, but you have the reading age of a 7year old- what did I say anywhere in support of the KLA- your childish quips get us no further.

"Russia joining Nato: It would be great. But too early now." - They don't want to join!

"In Kosovo, it's not a problem to know if Nato should or shouldn't have intervene in Kososvo but what they want to do with it.
I think it was not a bad thing to react against Milo but the policy that follows is wrong.
We should redraw the boundaries and settle realistic legal basis."
- What legal basis? The entire action flouted international law.
No basis in international law for "redrawing boundaries"

"They think that letting everything like that, will bring stablity. They goof. They are on the wrong way."
_ The point,sweetheart, I was making- over your head obviously

They should give some land to Albania, some land to Serbia, some land eventualy to Greece or another country if necessary; with Macedonia too if it can't be
stable, let the people settle on the side of the border they prefer and stop with this ethnic cleansing paranoia. I mean to make it natural.
THEN PUT THE WHOLE THING UNDER THE EUROPE COMMUNITY POWER.
(but here again the EC should have some common power of decision. That's also not granted.)

_ You mean the EU, currently squabling about what currency it should use and who can and can't eat what?????? Think again.

Russian officials said the tape, released by Germany's N24 television, could not be accepted as testimony of torture.

The respected Russian daily Izvestia said it was its reporter, rather than a German, who had shot the film.

N24 later said its reporter had stood by as the film was shot by a Russian cameraman. It added that the pictures did not prove whether any atrocity had actually taken place.

Russia is split, crack straight down the middle. Not an inch to give on either side. Nothing has gripped this nation like this since the attempted communist coup de tat. The new democratic system is well and alive here in Russia as people of all races, regions and religions are rushing to neighborhood voting polls to "have their say". Schools from kindergarten to universities have called for a national holiday commemorating this historical day. Offices have been closed, roads have been off limits, gov't buliding are empty … the nation has come to a virtual standstill. The importance of the results cannot be overstated, this ladies and gentlemen will shape the new Russia of the 21st Century.

And the million ruble question …. Drum role please …
MOSKOVSKAYA VS. STOLYCHNIYA ?

"We must do everything we can to prevent the
KLA crossing and Milosevic exploiting this
situation," one said.

The sources said Kfor's numbers are likely to be
boosted by 7,000 to about 37,000 over the coming
months, as the peacekeepers try to back up the
United Nations' stated intention of
"reintegrating" Kosovo.

But tensions within Kfor are running high, with
Russia accusing the UN of failing to protect the
dwindling Serbian population in Kosovo.

According to senior figures in Nato and the US who spoke out last week,
Mr Ivanovic is Belgrade's man. He denies it, but the more northern
Kosovo is purged of Albanians, the easier it becomes to achieve what may
be his ultimate aim: to join his enclave to the rest of Serbia, and to make
the Ibar the frontier with a Kosovo which all Albanians believe must
become independent.

Some link this to a rise in tension at the other end of Kosovo. The former
Kosovo Liberation Army is said to be stirring up Albanian villages across
the border in the far south of Serbia, where it meets Macedonia, while
Serbian paramilitaries infiltrate Kosovo in retaliation. Perhaps an exchange
of territory may result, in which Serbia gets northern Kosovo and the
Albanians get what they already call "eastern Kosovo".

When the theory is put to Mr Ivanovic's opposite number across the river,
Bajram Rexhepe, who has Albanian and American flags on his desk, all he
will say is that this is "big politics". But he admits: "It is a reality that the
north has a geographic and ethnic connection with Serbia."

MOSCOW, Feb 27, 2000 -- (Reuters) Russia's Izvestia daily said on Friday its reporter had shot footage in Chechnya that a German television channel had presented as its own of Russian soldiers dumping bodies into a pit.

The liberal daily said reporter Oleg Blotsky, and not German N24 television correspondent Frank Hoefling, had shot the pictures on February 14 in the villages of Roshni-Chu and Goiti, southwest of the capital Grozny. He later turned it over to the German television company.

Izvestia said the film depicted soldiers temporarily burying bodies for possible later identification by relatives. They had been bound together, the daily said, simply to allow for easier transport.

"The German television company portrayed as 'the murder of prisoners' and 'the savagery of the Russian army' events which in actual fact were not its own work and, in essence, were completely falsified," Izvestia said.

N24 dismissed the Izvestia statements and said reporter Frank Hoefling had been present when the film was shot.

It denied that the film, which prompted a new wave of criticism of Russia's campaign in Chechnya, constituted proof that the army had committed atrocities.

N24 editor-in-chief Florian Martius insisted his reporter had been present during the filming.

"He was there standing side by side with the guy who took the pictures," Martius told Reuters from Munich. "What we cannot confirm is that these are proof of atrocities."

The pictures have been shown on various Western networks and initially in Russia on private NTV television.

Hoefling, interviewed by NTV by satellite telephone, said Russian soldiers had allowed the filming to take place because they were unhappy with the task they were performing. NTV quoted him as saying the events depicted occurred on February 22 southeast of the Chechen capital Grozny.

Izvestia described the incident as the first deliberate falsification of events in Chechnya in the Western press.

It said Hoefling was unlikely to have acted on his own and suggested the action was part of a campaign to discredit Russia coinciding with a visit by a top Council of Europe official.

Russia's chief spokesman on Chechnya, Sergei Yastrzhembsky, endorsed Izvestia's explanation, describing the pictures shown on NTV as "the falsification of the year".

The call transmitted to the World begins: "February 1944: deportation of Chechens. February 2000: massacre of Chechens. Vladimir Putin continues the work of Stalin. Patriot, he orders to raze Grozny, allows to finish off civilian refugees and shooting wounded combatants. Humanist, he crushes villages with flame throwers and fragmentation shells. Modernist, he prohibits medical help to go to the site. Democrat, he muzzles the press and removes best informed Russian journalists, Andreï Babitski, by his henchmen of the FSB and delivers him to unidentified prison guards. Effective, he organizes" filtration camps "where Chechens of all descriptions are beaten to death, sodomized and, if possible, held to ransom".
