Germany needs a passport to peace
Article Abstract:
The murder by fire of five Turks in Solingen, Germany bears the marks of a neo-Nazi operation and this latest outrage has the German population demanding government action. In general German society is very conscious and respectful of law and order and deplores racist violence. There are two measures that must be taken. First, the government must defer to the true cost of reunification and will have to raise taxes and lower public services. Second, the basis of German nationality must be closely looked at. The ban on dual citizenship is very disadvantageous for Turks.

Passport to power
Article Abstract:
Many people who have gone on to head harsh regimes around the world have first studied for a law degree in the UK. These include Lee Kuan Yew, the first prime minister of Singapore, and the former Ugandan minister Akena Adoko. Some observers are now expressing concern that English law courses are being used by foreign political activists to assist or impose regimes which do not follow democratic political principles. It is possible that English law is so popular with aspiring foreign politicians because the model for the UK constitution is unwritten.

How a phoney passport led the FBI to the lair of the embassy bombers
Article Abstract:
The US discovered the identity of the terrorists responsible for the bombings of the US embassies in Africa after a Palestinian was arrested in Pakistan for travelling from Kenya on a false passport. The Palestinian admitted he was a member of Saudi millionaire Osama bin Laden's fundamentalist terrorist group and he claimed responsibility for the bombing of the US embassy in Nairobi. The admission legitimized a military response by the US.
