...quite unlike anything the E.U. has been involved in ever before," CER's Valasek said. Although he felt Chad was less of a clear E.U. foreign policy priority than, say, Afghanistan, Valasek said the mission would still be remembered as a landmark for the E.U. "It is no walk in park: Chad is by any measure a less stable and more dangerous theatre of operation than Bosnia. But it will be a key test of the E.U.'s military prowess, and if it succeeds, it will give a huge boost to confidence over E.U. missions...

...Khan though, words are not enough - he wants Britain to walk the walk and help make some changes to the current regime. With Musharraf in charge of fairness at the polls, "it will be the rigging of all times," he said.

...savage retribution on anyone they suspect of collaborating with the ISAF or Afghan government forces. Thousands of families face an impossible choice: cooperate with the Taliban and risk being targeted by the ISAF - or cooperate with the government and risk torture or death from the Taliban. The ISAF must walk an equally fine line: they need to win the support of civilians, but Taliban fighters move among those civilians and look just like them.

...sorry that the local-food movement is cramping Joel Stein's style [Jan. 21]. But just because 100 miles (160 km) has been used as an arbitrary procurement distance doesn't mean that people who try to eat locally walk around the supermarket with a GPS unit. I still enjoy bananas and coffee, and I have no problem drinking beer that comes from?gasp!?California. The point of eating locally is to become more familiar with our food.
