	World
		At the end of 2004, the world is still dangerously on the verge of a world war, although most analysis tend to focus on regional crises.
		The United Nations is an organization of "governments", not of "nations": the vast majority of the world's population is not represented at the United Nations.
		These wars intersected each other so that one of the aggressors (Soviet Union) was also one of the victims, but at the beginning it is fairly obvious to any objective observer that Hitler and Stalin simply decided to split Europe between the two of them, and used ruthless methods to achieve their goals.

	Office Is a Bridge Between The Living and the Dead
		As of yesterday, about 2,300 U.S. troops have died in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and a majority of the deaths have been in the Army, Army National Guard and Army Reserve, according to a Washington Post database.
		Mary Torgerson, the center's director, said expectations before the Iraq war were for a relatively low number of casualties but included discussions about how to handle the possibility of contaminated remains and scenarios involving weapons of mass destruction.
		This means arranging for the soldier's remains to be returned to the United States, to have official identification and an autopsy performed, transferring the remains to a hometown funeral home, and then making arrangement for official honors and awards so the soldier can be buried with his or her medals.
