by Madeleine K. Albright, Vin Weber

16 June 2005

The Bush administration is right to support democratization in the Arab world. The question is how to do it.

by Vaira Vike-Freiberga

11 May 2005

Washington D. C. (États-Unis) | 11 September 2001

An attack such as yesterday’s requires systematic planning, a good organization, a lot of money and a base.
