Djindjic was shot the day he had to sign papers of EU and Serbia's
intelligence cooperation, in fact to bring Serbia's security into 
EU's fold. 

The EU official who brought the EU papers to Belgrade for 
ratification is Anna Lindh. Treaty is not signed to this day.

from the more expensive magazine format; financial problems are cited 
as a reason

A 25 year old Swedish man of Serbian birth has admitted the murder of
Swedish Foreign Minister Anna Lind in a Stockhom department store in
2003. ZDF Television, quoting Swedish media, reported in its Nacht
Magazin that Mihajl Mihajlovic held a grduge against the minister
following her outspoken support for NATO's actions against Serbia in
1999.  Mihajlovic's lawyer claims his client is mentally disturbed.

How to win a war where the enemy refuses to play by the rules? Find a 
soldier who does not give a damn about them either.

The US is training 1000 Serb elite paramilitary troops, who were last 
time engaged in ethnic cleansing operations in Kosovo in 1999, for 
anti-terrorist duties in Afghanistan. While the use of ostensibly 
anti-Muslim fighters in a Muslim country could be seen as a 
provocation, Afghans are not behaving friendly to any foreign 
soldiers.

Interestingly, to avoid compunctions about ICC, thousand Serbs are 
not going to be under NATO command in Kabul, but directly under the 
US command.

Subject: Sanchez

General Sanchez, 52, who commands the 38-nation alliance of 
occupation forces in Iraq, summarized his thoughts in a way that 
encapsulated America's challenge here nine months after the overthrow 
of Saddam Hussein. "They don't want us here, but they don't want us 
to leave, either," he said. "That's our dilemma; that's the problem 
we have to solve."
If they all die, then they will not be there any more, and that 
without having left, so the problem would be solved. Only I am not 
sure whether that solution would sound acceptable to general Sanchez. 
But maybe that's what Sunnis are hinting at.
