Asia Times PART 1: Readiness for endless war Not long ago, expectations that Europe might step up as a counterweight to US imperial policies focused on Germany, as a known moderating, non-military force in international politics. But now "Old Europe", led by Germany with France close behind, is in a hurry to kiss and make up with Washington after their estrangement. There are "old hands" within the German establishment who are looking with dismay at this evolution of German policies. Their warning voices, though, are largely unheard amid the narrative of the terrorist menace, which serves to propel and legitimize Germany's readiness for endless war. "Axel Brot" speaks for them.

A Weak United States Also Means a Weak Europe By: Christoph Bertram | The Daily Star America's power has been so overwhelming for so long that many think it has survived George W.

But now "Old Europe", led by Germany with France close behind, is in a hurry to kiss and make up with Washington after their estrangement. There are "old hands" within the German establishment who are looking with dismay at this evolution of German policies. Their warning voices, though, are largely unheard amid the narrative of the terrorist menace, which serves to propel and legitimize Germany's readiness for endless war. "Axel Brot" speaks for them.

It's Time to Let Kosovo Be Free By: Muhamet Hamiti | New York Post
Kosovo, my country, is in suspended animation -- a victim of grotesque power politics. A decade ago, the leadership of Serbia waged an ethnic-cleansing campaign against the ethnic Albanians of Kosovo -- the vast majority of the population.

What they have said about Foreign Press Review
"FPR'ın iki "kötü" özelliği var: 1. Alışkanlık yaratıyor, onsuz yapamaz hale geliyorsunuz; 2. Değeri alındığı değil, arada bir de olsa, alınamadığı vakit anlaşılıyor. Bir de sürekli bir kaygıya yol açıyor; 'Ya bir gün kesilir ve onu hiç alamazsam' duygusuyla sürekli yaşamak kolay değil."

Cengiz Çandar
