Officials reject the accusations. Most deny there are any problems in the provinces at all. No official would say why the two Jarai tribesmen were arrested (both have been released after signing self-criticisms). They say demonstrators were promised money to come to the protests and left peacefully when they received none. Gia Lai's Governor Ha, one of the few who acknowledges that transmigration has caused tensions, says the government has compensated the minorities by giving them free education and health care. "Just as in a family, the children may be jealous of each other," Ha says...
...reaction revealed a trait Europeans have long considered a quintessentially American attribute: political naiveté. It seems pretty obvious now that a Texas oilman with a proven aversion to antipollution regulation and a firm grounding in the don't-tread-on-me ideology of Western Republicans would reject a complicated agreement like the one forged in Kyoto, Japan in 1997. A few weeks ago, Bush clearly indicated his opposition to the central tenet of that agreement -curbing global warming by cutting emissions of carbon dioxide -in a letter to several Republican Senators. In it, he abandoned a campaign pledge...

They think the communist regime should be contained and confronted, much as the Soviet Union was treated, and that Taiwan's democracy should receive robust military support...

They may reject leftist class-warfare rhetoric, but they get a scrupulous twitch when people with plenty of money seem to be having too much of a party while the markets dive, and too many others seem to be sleeping under bridges. Bush's tax cut and his banker-friendly plan to make bankruptcy tougher may lead the middle third to think they are watching a Charlie Chaplin movie...
Macedonia's "mini war" isn't going to end anytime soon. Government forces prepared Wednesday to relaunch what their commanders have called a "final offensive" against Albanian separatist guerrillas, after the insurgents appeared to reject a 24-hour ultimatum to lay down their arms or leave Macedonia. After launching a heavy artillery bombardment of guerrilla positions in the hills around Tetovo, Tuesday, government forces declared a unilateral cease-fire to allow the rebels to respond to their ultimatum. But there was no indication that the separatist fighters, many of whom are veterans of Kosovo?s KLA, have any intention...
