Wednesday/Thursday, 3-12 and 13, 2003Well here we go again, with blogger again crashing, just to be helpful, I suppose. So here's our wrap up of the day:
Praise be and hallelujah! Can you believe it?
Elizabeth Smart Found Alive in Utah
Teen vanished from bedroom 9 months ago; turns up in Salt Lake City with man who once did work on Smart family's home
She was indeed with the second handyman. I myself am astonished. I didn't really hold all that much hope, given the length of the disappearance, etc. But miracles can happen.
Uh oh:
Serbian Premier Assassinated
Milosevic enemy shot in Belgrade
The guy was pro-west; his presumed killers are linked to a pro-Milosevic movement.
Here's the French news:
Le Monde: Iraq: The US Remains Inflexible. So does France. Neither country is fully satisfied with the new British resolution, though the US is closer to backing the effort to get the UN on board for Iraq.
Le Figaro: Negotiations regarding the American resolution and it's British modifications. Same story as above.
Libération: For Baghdad's well-heeled, the windfall of war, discusses Baghdad's investor class' hopes for internation money coming in after the US cleans out Iraq. We'll see, though of course this would not be the only result of a US/UK led war, even if the war were successful (which it probably will be, but all things are possible).
