Wars in the world: cold, warm and very hot

Last update: 22 Mar 07, 05:08 ET

Officially cold war has finished. Together with its end a numerous hot wars appeared in many former peaceful countries. What's better? Try to understand it through this day news. Indirectly talk of UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon with Iraq insurgents during his visit to Baghdad. The Secretary understands more and thinks faster than some presidents. US officials will understand it sooner or later. If they want less victims from the both sides, they have to begin to think about it right now.     One of the poorest countries in the world Ethiopia is involved in 2 wars simultaneously. Both are outside its borders. First – in Somali, where Ethiopian armed forces a peace and a government. Yes, they are under attacks, but in Somali they are more successful than not-poor Americans with their Black Hawks down.     The second – with more powerful aggressor named Starbucks. This corporation will continue discussion with Ethiopian government about the trademarking of the coffee beans. Why not? If the champagne have to be produced only in the Province of Champagne, and Windows – in Redmond, the same rules can simply be used in coffee business.     When the whole world tries to limit North Korea and Iran in their wish to be "nuclear", Pakistan enlarges the number of nuclear warheads and variants of their use. On Thursday they successfully tested a cruise missile with a more than 400 miles range that can carry a nuclear warhead.     India and Pakistan is a real "nuclear hot point" on the map of the world. Another – between China and Taiwan. The Pentagon's generals wake up only now because of China's "flying up" defence spending an send there top general Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Peter Pace. Probably, to hear lectures like a "Tanks on Tiananmen Square as a symbol of Chinese democracy".     The rare combination – the politician and the Academy Award winner Al Gore is continuing the war against the global warmth. Gore tries to attract attention of House and senate committees. Are some of his recommendations unworkable as some Republicans said?     There is no political war between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, but there is the first victim. "Director" of the most popular video of this week has lost his job. "A proud Democrat" supported Obama too roughly.     1000 pounds squid can easily play a role in a horror film. But he is real and was caught in Antarctic waters. Now scientists try to create huge oven which can hold this 33 feet giant. Not to cook it, but to defrost for better study.
