President George W. Bush will not send to the Senate for ratification a treaty that would have created the world's first global criminal court. "As you know,... the Bush administration, does not support the International Criminal Court. President Clinton signed the treaty but we have no plans to send it forward to our Senate for ratification," Powell told reporters during a visit to U.N. headquarters. |

"Blaming gun control for what went wrong in 2000 is too convenient. It permits Democrats to ignore other problems. And it misses how much support for gun control has helped the Democratic candidates in the suburbs as well as the big cities, especially in the Northeast, Middle West and on the West Coast. Supporters of gun control need new strategies, some of which will be unveiled this week. But there's no call to sell out on what ought to be an issue of principle." |

Canada's federal gun-control program is here to stay, and the nearly C$500 million (US $330 million) it has cost so far is a 'bargain', considering the benefits, Justice Minister Anne McLellan says. "I think it's a bargain, to make sure we do not see what America lives with every day," she said. |

"The rapidly deteriorating situation in Zimbabwe provided provocative news filler. But while the report touched on the main points of current events there, the producer failed to recognize that the segment was really the portrait of a society ripe for genocide." -by Dave Kopel, Dr. Paul Gallant, & Dr. Joanne Eisen of the Independence Institute www.independenceinstitute.org |

TO REMEMBER |
| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
