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?

Of course, ideas can only do so much for an art show, and it's the paintings themselves, rather than what they represent, that Milidrag would probably want to engage most viewers.

Followers of Serbia's biggest soccer clubs, however, would scoff at all three. While a little animosity is fine and dandy in any sport, the supporters of Belgrade's Red Star and Partizan outfits have been taking it to the next level for over half a century. It's a simple recipe, really. Take 50,000 people from disparate political backgrounds in one of the most troubled and war-torn regions on the planet -- add religion and 700 years of bloodshed and ethnic dispute -- and voila! You have the Balkans at a boil. This ain't no Banjo Bowl. It is glorified urban warfare with a soccer match as a backdrop.
Red Star's principal gang of ultras, Delije, is currently running a banner on its website which reads, "Kosovo is Serbia." Meanwhile, Partizan's most infamous faction, Grobari, is using its s...
