After the borders came down
A tiny boy in a green shirt whirls around, his hand above his head before we are shown a shot of a tank blowing up, the soldiers' bodies thrown in the air. Chuckles of approval. As a helicopter gunship is bathed in fire, he says: "They landed in a minefield. Their people could not save them." His wife Kameta adds something to the effect that Chechnya will not be beaten. As he turns to talk to me his son takes over the computer and puts on a game that involves firing big weapons at vehicles. Not usually one to be bothered by such games, it's a bit more disturbing in view of the real life carnage that preceded it. We are on the outskirts of a rather delightful Polish city, Lubin. The couple and their six children, aged between six and 19, have applied for asylum in Poland and now live in a state-run centre for people waiting for their cases to be heard.
These NFL resolutions oughta stick
Arthur Blank I vow to not shake Bill Parcells' hand at this year's owners meeting, not ever. Not in a box, not with a fox. I will not eat green eggs and Tuna. Oh, and I'll probably close up all Home Depots in the state of Arkansas. Michael Vick I resolve to honorably serve my entire jail term without ever once venturing into the shower. Hey, can't blame you for that one buddy. Bill Belichick I resolve to sign my first fashion deal. In staying with my incredibly hip style, I've made my decision and will be coming out with the Bill Belichick 2008 Grrranimals Coach Wear Line. It's going to be hot. Hot I tell ya. Hot. Michael Strahan I vow not to go to training camp next season, one way or the other. Brett Favre I resolve to, um, well ... I'll let you know my resolution when I'm ready.
