POPSPlucky little Georgia? No, the cold war reading won't wash All is not what is what it looks like.... Cont: Devoted to achieving Nato entry for Georgia, Saakashvili has sent troops to Iraq and Afghanistan - and so clearly felt he had American backing. The streets of the Georgian capital are plastered with posters of George W Bush alongside his Georgian protege. George W Bush avenue leads to Tbilisi airport. But he has ignored Kissinger's dictum: "Great powers don't commit suicide for their allies." Perhaps his neoconservative allies in Washington have forgotten it, too. Let's hope not.

POPSWhy We Need More Heros Like Him mostly critiques of Communist utopianism and dogmatism — even though their production and publication were banned. Czechoslovak officials, eager to be rid of him (one of the country’s leading troublemakers), actually offered to let him move to the West and take a dream job he had been offered with the New York Shakespeare Festival, Havel refused. “The solution to this human situation does not lie in leaving it.” Havel — already under the watchful eye of the Czechoslovak government — became a constant target of its attentions. The secret police interrogated him regularly. He received threatening letters and anonymous telephone calls. His life began to feel as if it was one continuous round of threats, bright lights, padded doors... Finally, Havel was arrested, charged … with committing “serious crimes against the basic principles of the Republic.” He was confined without trial “in total isolation” for four and a half months in Ruzyně prison.

POPS"Blue Planet in Green Shackles" Czech President Vaclav Klaus Klaus said poor nations would also be hurt by efforts to impose limits and standards on emissions of gases believed to cause global warming. "They will not be able to absorb new technological standards required by the anti-greenhouse religion, their products will have difficulty accessing the developed markets, and as a result the gap between them and the developed world will widen," "This ideology preaches earth and nature and under the slogans of their protection -- similarly to the old Marxists -- wants to replace the free and spontaneous evolution of mankind by a sort of central, now global, planning of the whole world," he added. "No government action can stop the world and nature from changing. Therefore, I disagree with plans such as the Kyoto Protocol or similar initiatives, which set arbitrary targets requiring enormous costs without realistic prospects for the success of these measures," he said.
