...cleric took over after his more moderate predecessor, Aslan Maskhadov, was killed in March. Since then, the tone and tactics of the conflict have taken a firmly radical turn. Rebel leaders go beyond criticizing the West's failure to denounce Russia's brutal tactics in Chechnya; they increasingly reject Western values based, they say, on "materialism and atheism." A "discussion document" circulating among Chechen guerrillas singles out Afghanistan's Taliban regime as the most theologically consistent modern Islamic state. The Islamist cast of the Nalchik attackers suggests that Russian President Vladimir Putin now faces a growing threat from religious radicals...

That's why to turn our back on admitting Turkey would be to reject the most important contribution Europe has made to geopolitics. you say europeans are "more inclined to take holidays than risks." you mean they can't compete?

The result is a revealing look at Sachs’ attempts to transplant organs from pigs into baboons, hoping that if a baboon won’t reject the organ, humans won’t either. And this is where Sachs’ research efforts lie: investigating new ways to prevent baboons’ immune systems from attacking the foreign organs, a task that comes with painstakingly slow progress...
...other places, like HoCos (which were each eligible for $6,000 from the UC last year) and concerts.But as important as slowing down the expansion of student groups seems, it is hard to put into practice. It’s difficult for the College to find grounds to reject students hoping to form official groups. It can set the bar high for new group proposals, and suggest that people work within existing groups, but that’s about it.Still, there are ways to stem the spread of student groups by incentivizing cooperation between student groups and even encouraging them...
