Gustave, It looks like the Clinton/Blair vision of a multicultural one world government with peace and gun control for all is evaporating faster than an ice cube on Saddam's back porch. All over the planet these small and large civil wars are springing to life. Sheesh, and Clinton was sooo close...he just had to dole out another couple hundred billion or so in aid around the world and everyone would have been singing and dancing around the groovy rainbow of brotherly love. Oh yea, and next week the Senate votes on pulling out our troops from Kosovo. Considering that ethnic violence has actually increased since NATO took over the province, I would guess that we are on our way out now. -John

A political nobody when he became prime minister nine months ago, Putin has handed key Kremlin posts to a host of friends from the FSB intelligence service which he headed until last August. Many here believe an FSB-led administration, which is assigned no formal role in the constitution, will drive policy formulation under Putin while the government is reduced to the role of technocratic enforcer. It could be part of a strategy to carve himself a modicum of freedom from the "Family", a fabled clan of shadowy businessmen who engineered Putin's meteoric rise into the Kremlin in place of Boris Yeltsin. russiatoday.com
