The Europeans were, for the most part, content to let the U.S. call the shots in Afghanistan - although they did feel a little slighted by the fact that the Americans had little use for the men and machines they offered to send. But they're unlikely to simply accept Washington applying its own reading of international law in the aftermath of battle. There's no question that the detainees on Guantanamo represent a challenging category of combatant - indeed, of warfare - not envisaged by the framers of the Geneva Convention.

It is easy to respect the work that goes into these portrayals--and, indeed, LaPaglia won a Tony for his performance as Eddie Carbone, tragically haunted...
...continued tenure as President, Commander General of the Defense Force General Vitalis Zvinavashe hinted at an army coup should the election result not please the military. He issued a statement saying that since the President is expected to observe the objectives of the liberation struggle, "we will therefore not accept, let alone support," anyone who had not fought in the independence movement. Tsvangirai was a labor activist during the battles for independence. As the rest of southern Africa looked anxiously on, Australia's Foreign Minister Alexander Downer said he would push for Zimbabwe's suspension from the Commonwealth...
