New York Times correspondent Steven Erlanger says -- with a touch of irony -- in today's International Herald Tribune that the defeat in Yugoslavia of Slobodan Milosevic, regarded as good news by those with democratic leanings, was bad news for Kosovar Albanians with independence leanings.
Britain's Financial Times agrees with The New York Times' Erlanger that the otherwise good news of Milosevic's defeat is a negative for Kosovo's Albanian majority.
The Independent of London, of all the Western press surveyed, stands alone in arguing that the time now is ripe for Kosovar independence.

 Independence Day
Over the last few election cycles, the Independence Party of New York State has shown that when it comes to getting an extra party endorsement on the ballot, ethical and ideological considerations take a backseat to "political reality" for many that seek elected office.
The Independence Party has been a three ring circus ever since it sprouted from the ashes of Ross Perot's Reform Party, capitalizing on the cynicism many Americans harbor over the pay-to-play two party system that dominates American politics.
In 1989, Fulani wrote that Jews "had to sell their souls to acquire Israel and are required to do the dirtiest work of capitalism" and currently "function as mass murderers of people of color." For these remarks, and her more recent refusal to retract them, she has been widely condemned by NYC politicians.

Maule said, is that after the Liberty Bell was placed in a new and more secure building in 2003, a metal detector was installed in the exact location from which it had been moved.
