...Many would argue that with the unprecedented complexities of determining enemy actions in the War on Terror, the ordinary procedures of establishing crime may not be effective and that some liberties must be forsaken for increased homeland security. Perhaps allowing the government to monitor your phone calls is prudent if it prevents future terrorist attacks.However, American citizens should be aware of the record of its government’s record abroad when there is no constitutional or judicial oversight over their actions.

The safety and self-interest of 27 EU members hang on a prudent solution in Kosovo. However slim, the chance of such a solution is worth striving for. The only way to have no losers in Kosovo is through the supranational philosophy embodied by the EU. Sadly, the EU has already taken sides in favor of Kosovo’s imminent independence, joining...
