More than 250,000 people are killed. From them more than 42,000 – are children. And this is without taking into account indirect deaths. But Europe remains deaf to the calls about the aid. Noise of gas flow in the conduit muffles the cries of those killed in the distant country. And here was located one idealist, who, being refugee, could live quietly and well, but preferred to break the wall of moral deafness by his dead body. He stated that if the murders in the distant country were not noticeable, then he would organize his own corpse on the steps of the European Parliament. He starves already so much time that he approached the feature, but no one has come out from the Euros-parliamentarian in order to inquire by his requirements.

From: MSN NicknameEagle_wng (Original Message) Sent: 1/14/2006 1:15 AM Racism in Russia being ignored, Jewish leaders warn By <BYLINE>Oliver Bullough in Moscow</BYLINE> <DATE>January 14, 2006 RUSSIA must start enforcing the law to stop a racist groundswell turning into mass bloodshed, Jewish leaders warned a day after a knife attack on worshippers in a Moscow synagogue. Analysts said the attack, by a man who shouted "Heil Hitler" as he wounded eight people, was connected to a racist trend whipped up by politicians exploiting nationalism to win votes. "To blame this on lone mad people is dangerous, because these mad people could explode the whole country," Borukh Gorin, of the Russian Federation of Jewish Organisations, said on Thursday. Rights activists point to a growing wave of violence against foreigners and ethnic minorities. Last month a student from Cameroon was killed in St Petersburg, the latest in a series of murders of Africans and Asians in the northern city. The murders of two Tajik gypsy girls, aged five and nine, shocked the country two years ago. "Blood ... >> full

FReply Recommend Message 1 of 1 in Discussion From: MSN NicknameEagle_wng (Original Message) Sent: 1/14/2006 1:35 PM Russian Gas Dispute Sours Ties With EU By HENRY MEYER Associated Press Writer January 14, 2006, 7:57 AM EST MOSCOW -- German Chancellor Angela Merkel heads to Moscow next week on a trip that offers the two nations a fresh start after a gas dispute raised questions about Russia's reliability as an energy partner. The visit follows her trip Friday to Washington, where she had her first meeting with President Bush, discussing Guantanamo detainees and the Iranian nuclear standoff among other issues. Merkel said last week she could not use the word "friendship" to describe Berlin-Kremlin relations after Russia reduced natural gas shipments to neighboring Ukraine, causing decreases in Europe as well. The dispute wasn't between Russia and European Union countries -- which buy a quarter of all their gas from Russia -- but with Ukraine, through which some 80 percent of Russia's gas shipments to Europe pass. Ukraine was refusing to meet Russia's ... >> full

From: MSN NicknameEagle_wng (Original Message) Sent: 1/15/2006 10:18 AM Friday, January 13, 2006. Issue 3330. Page 8. A Land of Never-Ending Holidays By Mark H. Teeter At this point you're almost numb: You've been celebrating holidays for something like a month and a half and you're asking yourself (or your liver is asking you) Haven't we had enough fun yet? No, you haven't. Obviously. The table was barely cleared after Saturday's Russian Christmas feast when your friends announced that yet another holiday, this one bafflingly called Old New Year, was looming nigh, Jan. 14. Now you're wondering aloud to anyone within earshot: Is there no end to this revelry? Am I stuck in college forever? Let us help. The first thing you need are facts: The reason January is overwhelmed with holidays goes back to a historical difference between the Eastern and Western church calendars (Julian vs. Gregorian) that created a 14-day "lag time" in the observance of certain holidays here -- so unlike the familiar U.S. version, Russian Orthodox Kwanzaa ... >> full

From: MSN NicknameEagle_wng (Original Message) Sent: 1/17/2006 4:52 AM January, 17, 2006 2 minutes from 14 529 about Chechnya Taras Grebeniuk, Ukraine, Vinnitsa, IA DAYMOHK, 17.01.06 It is difficult to realize entire tragedy and dramaticism of Russian- Chechen war. It entered into the list of the events, composed by "doctors without borders", about which is said less anything. Accordingly "The Tyndall Report", to report on monitoring of the American MEDIA, in entire 2005 in the summaries of news along three main channels of the American television the total time, which was in year 14.529 minutes, to theme to Russian- Chechen war was given only 2 minutes. Nightmare continues more than eleven years. But in what a question of this criminal indifference of world community to the destruction of Chechen people? May be Chechens threaten world with their number? No. May be, Chechens pretend to the world supremacy? Also no. So why this murder, accomplished at joint of two centuries, does not cause the tenth of that angry reaction, which caused, ... >> full
