Bashing America has returned with a vehemence not seen since the Vietnam War era of the 1960s. The choice of a McDonald's restaurant for a fatal bomb attack in Brittany on Wednesday rang alarm bells at the American Embassy in Paris after a month which has seen the US reacting with wounded indignation to a rising chorus of criticism.

The move reflects the new toughness of German regional states - notably but not exclusively Bavaria - in dealing with immigration. An interior ministry spokeswoman in the state of Lower Saxony, said: "They have been told their short-term residence permits will not be extended and that they are required to leave." Some 160,000 Kosovo Albanians are affected throughout Germany. Critics say that returning the refugees will destabilise the Balkans. Germany took in some 350,000 refugees from the war in Bosnia, around half of whom have returned. Tens of thousands more arrived because of the Kosovo conflict. {{<End Lead-In>}} A<>E<>R ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Integrity has no need of rules. -Albert Camus (1913-1960) + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + The only real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes. -Marcel Proust + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + "Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your common sense." --Buddha + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + It is preoccupation with possessions, more than anything else, that prevents us from living freely and nobly. -Bertrand Russell + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + "Everyone has the right...to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers."
