...majority of the movie takes place in Vegas, particularly in the hotel room. Here the difficulties of human relationships begin to surface as Richard convinces himself that Florence is actually falling in love with him. These characters and the complexities of their interactions are The Center of the World??s greatest success. Florence and Richard are each a unique blend of cultural stereotype and individual nuance, so that they manage to be both extremely real and yet broadly understandable in terms of the issues they confront...
...quasi-heroic, flag-draped welcome, and the way that U.S. diplomacy throughout the last few weeks treated “getting our people home” as its primary imperative, points to a peculiar and even dangerous trend in the way we, the world??s sole great power, conduct ourselves in foreign affairs.

Although Milosevic may be guilty of abusing his power as president of Serbia, he is also responsible to the world community for his alleged acts of genocide. By punishing Milosevic in the world??s court, the Hague would be setting a strong precedent and a deterrent to other world leaders. It is essential that Milosevic be arrested, given a fair trial and sentenced harshly if found guilty. It would be a further atrocity if a man who attempted genocide were to escape the strictest punishment. Leaving Milosevic to serve a sentence in Serbia, on the premise that...
