During his visit to neighbouring Albania earlier this month, U.S. President George W. Bush declared: "At some point, sooner rather than later, you've got to say 'Enough is enough -- Kosovo is independent.'" There was great joy in Kosovo (where 90 per cent of the population are ethnic Albanians), but in Moscow there were threats of a veto. A few months earlier, Richard Holbrooke, the U.S. diplomat who negotiated an end to the war in Bosnia in 1995, warned in the Washington Post that "Russia's actions could determine whether there is another war in Europe... If Moscow vetoes or delays (Kosovo's independence) the Kosovar Albanians will declare independence unilaterally. Some countries, including the United States and many Muslim states, would probably recognize them, but most of the Europe...

Everyone agreeing on something is not sufficient to cause action -- that's the free rider problem," said Stephen Gent, a political scientist at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. "Yes, they do not like genocide," adds Stephen Krasner, a Stanford University political scientist. "But, also yes, getting your own forces killed in a far-off place that most of your electorate has never heard of is not likely to win you votes. Krasner says one problem with Gent's theory is that nations, unlike houses on a block, are not equals. Most countries lack the means to intervene, meaning that if powerful countries do nothing, nothing gets done. Domestic political pressures, he adds, make powerful countries unwilling to sacrifice lives: "That is why dealing with the tsunami was so nice -...

Peacekeeping has a place of pride in the Canadian national identity. Canadians feel that their nation is a natural leader in this international endeavour. How is this national identity expressed, and howhas it come about? Is it justified? An answer to these questions requires a probe of Canadian public and military attitudes, a historical review of Canada's peacekeeping activities, and an examination of current Canadian contributions. The final question is: What is needed if Canada is to live up to the image of the proud and prolific peacekeeper?

Would that it were true. A similar boast was made after the trial of Nazi war criminals following the Second World War, when the world said "Never Again." But it did happen again, in China, Cambodia, Burma, East Timor, Bosnia, Kosovo, Rwanda, Burma, Somalia, Darfur, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and other places. The tragic fact is there is no evidence that incidents of ethnic cleansing and genocide have been or will be deterred by the fear of prosecution at an international tribunal.

Iraq also hangs over Mr. [TONY Blair]'s new appointment as Middle East negotiator. And so it should, but not in the negative way his critics imply. His stand on Iraq was strong and clear -- as strong and clear as the position of the terrorists who are fighting the coalition in Iraq. In the Israeli Palestinian conflict, all the leaders of all the factions, will understand that, when they are talking to Mr. Blair, they are talking to a man who means business.
