	The Siege of Budapest (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		So began the Siege of Budapest and the destruction of Central Europe's "Pearl of the Danube." Unimaginable to all who lived in Budapest during this unfolding drama was that this first skirmish near the hospital would soon turn into one of the most frightful urban battles of World War II.
		The weakening Soviet offensive, although having reached the Danube to the north and south of Budapest, broke against the hastily built-up Axis bridgehead.
		What made Budapest unusual was that due to relatively benign Hungarian policies against the Jews preceding the German occupation in March 1944, the city was the only remaining urban area anywhere within Nazi-occupied Europe that had a substantial surviving Jewish population by December 1944.

		The Hungarian forces were inevitably overwhelmed by the joint offensive of the superior Russian and Austrian imperial forces.
		Budapest developed at an astonishing speed, and in the course of a few decades, became one of the great capitals of Europe.
		World War II brought heavy losses to Hungary: during the Battle of Stalingrad and the offensive on the Don, 40,000 soldiers of the Second Hungarian Army were killed and 70,000 were captured by the Soviet troops, and heavy damage was inflicted on Hungarian towns by the air raids of the Allies.

		Budapest is a great city, but it has some drawbacks that you should know about.
		Budapest is extremely cheap, and one can indulge in decadant pastries for a fraction of the price you would pay in America or any other European country.
		The four months I spent in Budapest were simply the best of my life, and it a city that people of all ages and interests can enjoy, because of its great variety- from an evening at the opera to a night of clubbing.

		Loved Prague and Budapest, but Vienna just didn't do it for me. We enjoyed our tour of the Schonbrunn Palace and the Belvedere, as well as a concert at the Musicverein, but agree with TG that the food left a lot to be desired (I didn't even enjoy my Sacher torte).
		Though Budapest has some beautiful attractions, and we did a grand cruise on the Danube, there were times when I felt I was traveling in the Communist bloc - heavy-looking buildings, balckened and dreary.
		Budapest is very nice, has great historical sites from pre-Communist times, a strong sense of history and has made a tremendous revival since the Communists were tossed out.

	Reasons for the assault of Khojalu
		The necessity for assault and the neutralization of weapon emplacements in Khojalu was dictated also by the availability of offensive arsenals accumulated there.
		The leadership of NKR had to prevent the offensive against the Armenian rayon center of Askeran, and likely, Stepanakert, prepared by the armed forces of Azerbaijan.
		All of the technique was dislocated in the residential areas of Khojalu, from where the Armenian populated settlements had been shelled to destruction.

		The intention is probably to commence ground operations in the offensive war concurrently with the first strategic nuclear missile strike.
		Taking this into account—and assuming the strategic nuclear missile strike is executed on May 5—the offensive ground operations may start with smaller numbers of forces and limited goals on May 5, while the main forces are brought in from May 6.
		The NATO forces will do their utmost to start the offensive operations, but at present it is expected that they will be obliged, because of power relations, geographical features and the politico-economic situation, to carry out defensive operations at the beginning of the war, from the territory of Northern Italy.

		The object was to practise the start of an offensive operation from Hungary to the West and Southwest, as part of a general offensive into Western Europe.
		To assume an offensive operation from this basis, against an enemy who has already started to move east (Italian and German forces were supposed to have teamed up with the Austrians already), would be quite an achievement.
		By 07:30, Budapest, Miskolc, Debrecen, Csap and Komarom are destroyed, as are Vienna, Munich, Graz, Verona, Vicenza and Piacenza.

		The Images of Europe exhibition, described by one Hungarian daily as "provocative", is being staged by Dutch citizen Rem Koolhaas, and shown in a tent in Brussels with the aim of illustrating the EU and its member countries.

		Both Koolhaas, and the EU presidency, which funded the exhibition, allegedly said the exhibit "aims to attract the attention of the readers of the tabloid press and reality show spectators".

	Generaloberst Erzherzog Josef August [von Alcsút]
		The government thereafter understood that the oath was merely a formality, and the crumbling situation in Budapest meant that anything done in the name of the royal government would have little consequence outside Károlyi's office.
		On 5 August 1919, after the government collapsed and the Rumanian army entered Budapest, Archduke Josef magically reappeared in the city, claimed the authority to treat with the occupiers.
		The Rumanians had used his so-called governorship as something of a pretext to remain in Budapest all this time, to prevent revolutionary disturbances and what they termed "Habsburg resurgence." Josef quietly resigned his governorship (called by the whites a "three-week holiday") and took his place with the parliamentarians.

		I suspect they don't in Hungary or, at least, not in Budapest, which we were visiting on a short city-break, a month after the country's accession to shiny new EU membership.
		One of the greatest remaining remnants from this period is the state opera house (Andrassy út 22; 353 0170; tickets are Ft250-Ft20,000) built when Budapest was at the centre of the Austro-Hungarian empire in its ascendancy.
		The socialist-art statues that used to be displayed throughout the city and were joyously pulled from their pedestals after 1989 have, rather than being sold for scrap, been gathered together in the scruffy enclosure of the Statue Park (Balatoni út; 227 7446; 10am - sunset; Ft600).

		The new offensive, packaged by spin doctors as a "ceasefire" campaign, is being conducted nation-wide on a county by county basis.
		In each county a so-called ceasefire is announced during which the BSA aims to prosecute users of illicit software but holds off from doing so for 30 days, that is, while the unilateral ceasefire lasts.
		Although it appears that the BSA offensive is foremost aimed at business users, it's clear that the target isn't limited to this category of user.
