Rome is just 30 km from the Mediterranean, but if you believed most guidebooks, you'd think it was 300 - it's hard to find a tip for a great seafood restaurant in the Italian capital. But a Roman friend told me about Il Tempio di Iside shortly after it opened in 1999 near the Coliseum, and it has become a can't-miss stop on my dining itinerary with visiting friends and family. After a taste of complimentary Prosecco, Italy's gently sparkling white wine, Tempio's affable owner Francesco Tripodi arrives at the table to list the evening...
...President Bush offered little by way of detail on his North Korea proposal, but signaled that it would involve a multilateral written guarantee to respect Pyongyang's sovereignty, signed by all five parties to the talks with Kim Jong Il's government - South Korea, Japan, China, Russia and the U.S. The President reiterated that a formal non-aggression pact between the U.S. and North Korea, as demanded by Pyongyang, is "off the table." (Even if the administration had been inclined to offer such a deal, it would not easily win ratification in the Senate.) Still, the very fact that Washington...
North Korea has been in the news since its announcement late last year that it was restarting its nuclear program. The country has been a constant foreign-policy headache for the Bush Administration, with Kim Jong Il's government ratcheting up the tension in the region on Oct. 3 when it claimed to have finished reprocessing spent fuel rods and said that it was building a nuclear arsenal. North Koreans live in utter poverty under a Stalinist system, yet Kim's grip on power is as strong as ever. On his trip to Asia this week, President Bush will face...
...person living under the North Korean threat, I pray everyday that there will not another Korean war. But the security guarantee or non-aggression treaty is wrong in every sense - morally and politically. Kim Jong Il is responsible for deaths of millions of North Korean people. Granting what he is asking for will prolong the agony and misery of North Korean people. Also when was the last time he held his end of the bargain? Never! H.S. Lee Seoul, South Korea...
...must remember that it is the South Korean people that will fare the worst if the U.S. attacks North Korea. Kim Jong Il and the North Korean government in my eyes is the most deplorable in the world, but millions of Koreans will die if the U.S. attacks. The only solution that I see is that the U.S. should put as much pressure as they can on China to be more involved in the crisis. It is the Chinese government that enables the North Koreans' Stalinist system to continue to exist with their military pact with them. Heath Francis Canberra...
