By Cesar Fernando Zapata Jose Gutierrez and Jose Carranza are so different one to another, that they could well be from different planets. U.S. Marine Lance Corporal Jose Gutierrez was one of the first servicemen who died in combat in Iraq in 2003. He was 22. Gutierrez enlisted in the Marines because he wanted "to give the United States what the United States gave to him", according to friends and relatives interviewed by Spanish TV network Telemundo KVEA station in Los Angeles. "He came with nothing. This...

TemasEtUnam Today is the day that the new International Health Regulations (IHR) take effect. If you are not closely involved with public health, you may not what the IHR are and their importance. [Even some inexperienced public officials might know what they are, but consider them a "big yawn.'] But if you ever are touched in any way — even as a detained or quaranteed traveler — by a cross-border, trans-national or global health crisis — a breakout or pandemic of infectious disease,...
BRUSSELS, Belgium (Reuters) -- The European Union is studying resuming contacts with Cuba, which were halted after a crackdown on dissidents on the communist-run island in 2003, diplomats said Monday. Spain sent its foreign minister to Havana in April in a possible first step to thawing ties, but a number of EU states are wary of ending the freeze given persistent reports of human rights abuses and because it would irk the United States. The EU resumed some lower-level contacts in 2005 but ties remain cool...

He added: ?The British...
In the end the outcome was perhaps the best possible alternative to potential tragedy -- farcical anticlimax. Three police bulldozers broke down the back entrance of the Mercado Santa Anita, and in flooded the more than 1,000 police officers that had gathered outside in a show of overwhelming force. First in were the the stormtrooper-like 'robocops', with their 10 kilos of electric shock-delivering body armour, who were later fawned over at length by the female TV reporters. Amidst a few salvos of teargas,...

German Chancellor Angela Merkel expressed alarm at the detention of activists intending to protest against the Russian government. Vladimir Putin retorted that Estonia's ethnic Russians were being persecuted. Correspondents said the exchanges just illustrated the souring mood between the EU and its eastern neighbour. There are a number of prickly issues...

British Gunboats in an Area Out of Iraqi Control" A Bogus Hostage Crisis By GARY LEUPP On March 31 the President of the United States made a statement pertaining to the 15 British sailors and marines unfortunately detailed in Iran: "The Iranians must give back the hostages. They're innocent. The Iranians took these people out of Iraqi waters. It's inexcusable behavior." But since the American people don't trust George W. Bush, let's seek a second opinion. A credible authoritative one. Let's ask the top...

Cuban ambassador at the UN in Geneva Juan Antonio Fernandez termed on Wednesday of simulated farce the process followed in United States against five Cuban anti-terrorist fighters unfairly imprisoned in that country.

Referring to the trial that sentenced them, the Cuban diplomat said it was plagued by irregularities and was politically...

Dos noticias relacionadas entre sí sobre la situación en Iraq. La primera nos lleva a la milicia shiita de Muqtada al-Sadr, cuyo objetivo era defender a esa facción religiosa de los ataques producidos por la otra facción mayoritaria del Islam, los sunnitas. El problema de esto, es que generaba mayor violencia sectaria ya que se entraba en el círculo vicioso de ataque-contraataque de fin inconcluso, lo que hacía caminar a Iraq más rápidamente a la guerra civil. Pero al parecer con el consentimiento de...

And now, years into New York City?s war on graffiti writers and protesters, after we?ve watched our friends be detained, arrested, beat, fined, tried, and given real...
