...safety, security, a little peace. There's a potent moment in Marco Tullio Giordana's Once You're Born -the Italian film that shares the Lumiere theater with Sith today -when a boat load of the dispossessed each give, in closeup, their name and home country. Montenegro, Pakistan, Nigeria, Bosnia, Sudan... The list of trouble spots could be endless; the wretched refuse numbers in the tens of millions; each face on that boat of illegal immigrants is a map of human misery and resolve. They wouldn't be there if they didn't think they could survive and thrive...
...being stitched up, or send him back to his base, or home. Partly with Cornum's coaxing, U.S. military commanders in Europe have begun requiring every soldier returning from Iraq to consult a psychologist for post-traumatic stress syndrome. Cornum, who previously led the 28th Combat Support Hospital in Bosnia, has also hired several trauma surgeons and critical-care nurses and added operating rooms to the icu. "It's a completely different place now," Putnam says. He ranks Landstuhl as "a world-class trauma center," with top-of-the-line equipment. Landstuhl's eight operating rooms are busy most days...
...talks this month, but the deal was postponed after the Hague tribunal's chief prosecutor, Carla del Ponte, argued that former Croatian general Ante Gotovina is "within the reach of the Croatian authorities" but has still not been turned in almost four years after he was indicted.

E.U. foreign ministers said Croatia's accession talks would start once it was established that Zagreb "is cooperating fully...
...article about the systematic rape of Bosnian women by Serbian soldiers, and it moved her to action. "I grew up in a war, so I was drawn to suffering," she says. Within six months, having raised $2,000 with the help of a local Unitarian church, she traveled to Bosnia, determined to do something. Today Salbi's group, Women for Women International, based in Washington and with 180 staff members and a budget of $8.7 million, is a lifeline for war-torn women in eight countries: Afghanistan, Bosnia, Colombia, Iraq, Kosovo, Nigeria, Republic of the Congo and Rwanda. The organization...
...constructive impact than the U.S. Yet the E.U.'s transformative power is often confused with weakness. The E.U. doesn't change countries by threatening to invade them. Its biggest threat is not intervention but withdrawal of the hand of friendship and especially the prospect of membership. For countries like Bosnia, Turkey and Ukraine, the only thing worse than having to deal with the Brussels bureaucracy is not getting to deal with it at all. E.U. membership is such a powerful lure that countries will revamp their legal, judicial and political systems just to join...
