From Athens, Greece: Opinions and web links I find interesting about politics, science, life, and anything else that strikes my fancy. Feedback and comments: send to mihalisATgmail.com
Haradinaj charged with war crimes. Kosovo's prime minister is finally charged with war crimes. The UN authorities are very worried about possible unrest. Possibly a first step to pacify the Serbs. Next step will be the floating of proposal for independence of the province (if things don't blow up in the mean time)
Well, apparently I've been chided about the quickness to attribute to Basayev the title of heir apparent.
Jesus... miss a link and before you know it you're accused of playing the armchair pundit! Anyway the phrase "heir apparent" should have been a link to this Al Jazeera story, which states the following:
"With Maskhadov gone, Basayev – who has claimed responsibility for attacks like on the Moscow's theatre and the Beslan school siege that together left nearly 500 people dead – is likely to assume the post of Chechnya's rebel leader."
So you see, about stuff I know *very* little about (such as the internal balance of the Chechen resistance), I just link to viewpoints, I don't make 'em.
Following the Haradinaj story with interest -- will try to post something later.
My wife made a post on Sgrena over at aFoE yesterday. Scroll down the comments for the PoV of a recent American returnee from Iraq. Jim Henley over at Unqualified Offerings has some good thoughts and links (several of them, scroll down over the last couple of days.)
