...open the theater in 2011, I always think that it is not so important when the theater opens because the reconstruction is very difficult and complex," says Vedernikov. "Instead, in this situation, the quality of what is going to be done is far more important ... I have nothing to expect but a disastrous result." (See pictures of President Obama in Russia...
Iran needs to realize that it will not divide the Europeans and the U.S. from Russia and China, and that it cannot count on Europe putting its economic interests in Iran ahead of its desire for regional stability. Nor should Iran expect recognition as the single power in its neighborhood - other states have a right to make alliances, and the way to stability in the Persian Gulf region is not to try to drive out powers such as the U.S. but to reconcile different interests within a cooperative security framework.

It is also part of Europe's border-free Schengen zone, and virtually all the other E.U. programs open to non-member states...
...around the island. Fish and seafood account for 37% of Iceland's exports, and employ 8% of the work force; even ardent Euro-enthusiasts are loath to see their prime natural resource fall under the sway of the E.U.'s controversial Common Fisheries Policy (CFP). But while Reykjavik cannot expect an exemption, it could negotiate special protocols to take account of the importance of the fishing sector to the nation...
