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...
Timperlake is a member of the Blue Team, a loosely organized group of conservative congressional aides, experts and political operatives who reject not only the Clinton concept of a "strategic partnership" with China but also the mainstream Republican policy of trade-based engagement to encourage reforms.

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...
...most countries, such vitriol would signal the ugliest of scandals, perhaps involving choirboys. Father Ly's crime? Challenging the government. Last month, the priest sent a letter to U.S.Congressmen urging them to reject ratification of a bilateral trade agreement until Vietnam grants greater freedom of worship. Hanoi's retaliation against Father Ly was swift, but it may be backfiring and could dim chances for the treaty's ratification. Members of the U.S. House of Representatives' powerful International Relations Committee have vowed to bring up the issue in hearings that could start as early as next month. The action against Father...
