The latest issue of Details magazine has an excellent article on the medieval law (kanun<sp?>) that Albanians follow. Everyone must read it to understand what we are dealing with. It also has a few pictures of some mafia looking guys with guns out to get some other Albanian...This Kanun allows an Albanian to kill anyone from the extended family of the persons who killed a relative...Some nice guys have killed someone because their great great great grandfather's cousin killed a second cousin centuries ago...Ludicrous... Just pop into a Borders or Barnes & NOble bookstore and read it!

Regarding yesterday's resignation of Finance Minister DSK (his French media nickname), I think the untold motive lies in the following sentence: He's been tipped as the left's champion in the battle for control of Paris in 18-months time. The loss of Paris as a "RPR bastion" would be a major blow to France's right-wing opposition (ie RPR + RPF + UDF +...). The edge DSK had on his political rivals in this run for the Paris mayoralty was that, unlike former RPR PM Edouard Balladur or the currently controversial RPR mayor Tiberi, he was not himself a bone of contention within his own political party. Further, as a free-marketer leftist, he would have easily appealed to the largely rightist Parisian electorate.... Now, the left has been deprived of its best chance to conquer Paris in the coming municipal poll.
