Russia: Kosovo and asymmetry of perceptions

Kosovo appears to be an archaic topic. The Yugoslav question was a 1990s issue, while the Kosovo issue has appeared to be one of those conflicts that never quite goes away but isn't regarded very seriously by the international community.

Karl Rove Worried About Ron Paul "Momentum"

Without mentioning his name, Karl Rove made it clear during a recent appearance on Hannity and Colmes that he is worried about people jumping on a bandwagon and supporting a candidate who picks up momentum as a result of the early Republican primaries being bunched together tightly.

Islamic custom is to slaughter a lamb or a goat on the Festival of Eid Al-Adha, a custom that goes back to the time of Abraham our Father who slaughtered a beast rather than his son.

The slaughtered animal is shared with the community and a portion of it is donated to the needy.

Zionism has given a new meaning to the holiday, instead of animals being slaughtered, it is Palestinian children.

Russia warns UN it will veto independence for Kosovo

The EU agreed last week to send a mission to Kosovo to replace that of the UN, and to create support for possible independence. Russia said it will use its veto to deny such a mission the blessing of the UN, but the EU says the mission will go ahead with or without UN approval.

Looks like the UN is about to become "irrelevant" again, according to the EU, this time.

However this comes down, it is coming down ugly, unless the US and EU back off, which appears unlikely. (MR)
