...realistic plan and abandon his imaginary solutions, there is no reason to continue with this dead-end process," Denktash said after the election results. Papadopoulos is not an obvious peacemaker. He studied law in Britain and became a successful lawyer and politician, after having fought with EOKA, Cyprus' nationalist guerrilla movement, against British troops who occupied the island in the 1950s. In the 1990s, Papadopoulos was a legal adviser to Beogradska Banka, the Yugoslav state-owned bank, during Slobodan Milosevic's rule - an association that seemed at the time to bring him into conflict with U.S. officials. But with Milosevic...
...scientist Carol M. Swain's unsettling new book, "The New White Nationalism in America: Its Challenge to Integration," the U.S. is on the brink of an explosion of white "tribalism" that could trigger unprecedented levels of racial antagonism and an epidemic of violence. The underlying cause: a swelling "white nationalist" movement fueled by simmering resentment of affirmative action programs like those used by the University of Michigan.

This...
...Israeli election: Labor got only half as many seats as Likud, and came close to falling into the welter of tiny parties that jostle for ministerial jobs in coalition talks. Most analysts bet Sharon will have to go for a right-wing coalition with a series of nationalist and religious parties. That will keep Netanyahu in the Foreign Ministry that he's occupied since returning to the government after a failed party leadership run against Sharon in November. "Israelis voted for Sharon because they don't believe there will ever be peace with [Palestinian leader Yasser] Arafat," Netanyahu told Time...
...Mitznah may face an internal revolt that could see Labor once again accepting the junior role in Sharon's government, but if not, he may have to look towards a narrower coalition of hard-line nationalist and religious parties. The wildcard in the current election, however, is the centrist Shinui party of Tommy Lapid, which has surged from the political margins on a platform of militant secularism. Lapid's peace policies are somewhat vague, but his challenge to the privileges of the ultra-Orthodox who are exempt from military service and study at state expense has proved so popular that...
