...world may never have witnessed such togetherness. We have seen the devastation on TV or with our own eyes. Nature has taught us a lesson: it treats everybody alike. With determination, we will overcome the tragedy. In the past years, national unity in this country has been forgotten. We did not bat an eye over the agony of those Sri Lankans who became refugees in their own land because of internal conflict. War has caused incredible damage to our beloved country. Our government officials, rebel leaders and politicians must work to rebuild a devastated country. Now that we have faced...
...lack of centralization means regularly missed chances. Each year students such as Zou create new and fascinating opportunities for themselves, but without someone to collect this information, opportunities which other students might have shared are forgotten about. As members of the Center for European Studies Undergraduate Board, we do our best to collect information for students who wish to work in Europe. On Thursday, February 3, we are holding an information session with officials from various University bodies about summer experiences in Europe. All undergraduates are invited to join us at 27 Kirkland Street and plan for their summers. Despite...

On a recent police patrol, Naples commander Stefano Valletta pointed out scenes of violence: a double homicide in the parking lot of a local housing project, the slaying of a street thug...
...Iraqis braving terror and intimidation to go to the polls, the real author of Sunday's election -Grand Ayatollah Ali Sistani - confined himself to a simply thanking voters for turning out, and expressing regret that his own Iranian birth prevented him from joining them. It may be easily forgotten in the post-election spin that Sunday's vote was not the Bush administration's idea-quite the contrary. The U.S. had never intended for Iraqis to democratically choose the body that would write their new constitution; Washington had envisaged an election only after a constitution had been written...
Bush, more so than a John Kerry or a Hillary Clinton, can hold the allegiances of the bloc of voters most likely to decry such humanist missions abroad. That gives him the political capital necessary to venture into forgotten places like Sudan or Haiti, where the moral worth of the people who live there is often denigrated by the American public and news media to the point where we view them as almost subhuman. The American public, as of right now, refuses to tolerate the loss of American soldiers and the general expense necessary to improve the lives...
