While adat (customary law) obliges even distant relatives to care for a family's women and children in the absence of the breadwinner, in view of the catastrophic state of the economy and the physical danger to which the members of their families were subjected during wartime operations and the subsequent zachistkas (mopping-up operations carried out by Russian forces and pro-Moscow Chechen police units), this situation could not go on forever. Coming onstage were representatives of the wartime generation - men whom the war had denied any education other than military training, who had never experienced life during peacetime, who had grown up surrounded by the suffering and violence of war and whose way of thinking is based on the cynical principles of war.

International lawyers also tell us that British customary law permits prosecution for war crimes, although an enabling resolution is necessary to pass the Commons first. At no time do I recall him condemning the brutal Israeli occupation of Gaza and the West Bank, the 10,000 Palestinian prisoners held without charge, the kidnapping of Hamas MPs, the unashamed use of torture, and the killing of innocent civilians. Far from the election being "a campaign that showed Labour at its best", as Gould states, an election-eve poll conducted by YouGov showed that voters overwhelmingly rejected Labour's scaremongering and believed that the SNP's positive campaign about building a successful future for Scotland was the better of the two by a margin of 33 per cent to 11 per cent.

In 2005, a Memorial was dedicated in Berlin for the Jews of Europe murdered under the National Socialist regime. Since the non-Jewish victims of National Socialism were excluded in the setting of such an emblem of memory, there were various calls for additional central memorials for other groups of those persecuted under Nazism-especially homosexuals (Berliner Morgenpost 2006) and the populations stigmatized as Gypsies. At the present time, a memorial for the murdered Gypsies would seem to have the best prospects for future success. Politicians have given their explicit consent, there is a site and artistic draft of a design. But the realization of the memorial was postponed year after year because no agreement could be reached on the wording of an inscription. The discussion hinged on ...

PERHAPS there are no lessons to draw from last Saturday's anti- cuts rally and minor riot in London's West End. At these events something always "goes wrong". People refuse to stick to the script because people have different scripts. Whatever the police do, they will be told they got it wrong. We should accept that these political festivals are always messy. So long as too many heads do not get broken, we should take them in our stride.
People march through London for two reasons, either altruistic or selfish. They march against war, for whales, against bankers or for gays. Usually they are peaceful. When they march because someone somewhere is depriving them of money, things get nasty. In all cases, large numbers of people pour into west London (never east or south) because it is the ...

The political and strategic impact of surging populations, spreading disease, deforestation and soil erosion, water depletion, air pollution, and, possibly, rising sea levels in critical, overcrowded regions . . . developments that will prompt mass migrations and, in turn, incite group conflicts - will be the core foreign-policy challenge from which most others will ultimately emanate.'3' Kaplan's theory has since been termed 'New Barbarism', given its depiction of 'new war' as more barbaric than modern war pre- 1989. Because this barbarism or 'primitivism' is ingrained in the immutable culture of Africans, Kaplan suggests that the conflicts that emerge possess no ideological motivations.
