One Headline Cannot Suffice
Main News Stories
Today bears the scars of a very rich day in the news. No single topic would do it justice. Instead, a run-down down on today’s news and my impressions.
We have, of course, the wildly controversial attack on the U.S embassy in Serbia. The U.N has objected in the “strongest possible terms” (which isn’t much I’ll grant you) to the 1000 “thugs” who took part in the pillaging. The Administration has urged Kostunica to keep a hand on the kettle and protect diplomatic interests in Serbia. Russia seems to have a hand in the violence, is or rumored too, along with several Serbian ministers who incited Serbians to violence.
Then there’s the delicate affair of the Turkish invasion of northern Iraq, on a mission to wipe the PKK from the map. The 10,000 strong incursion has been met with both chagrin and applause. The operation seems to have targeted a relatively low-population area, so much so that Iraqi officials have no evidence of there having been a strong incursion at all.

In conclusion, I’m sorry for the strange and fleeting structure to today’s article. But I’m working hard and short on time. Thanks for reading!
