Vuoden alussa eduskunnan käsiteltäväksi tullut uusi turvallisuus- ja puolustuspoliittinen selonteko ei tuo Nato-jäsenyyttä lähemmäksi tai siirrä sitä yhtään kauemmaksi, vaan pitää jäsenyyden hakemisen samanlaisena mahdollisuutena kuin aiemminkin. Selonteko käsittelee Nato-kysymystä tosin aikaisempaa laajemmin. Linjauksen mukaan mahdollisuus hakea jäsenyyttä puolustusliitossa säilyy. Yleisesti

”Toivon, että pääsemme tavoitteisiimme nopeasti”, Israelin pääministeri Ehud Olmert kommentoi suunnitelmaa lopettaa islamistisen äärijärjestö Hamasin tukijoiden raketti-iskut Israeliin Gazan kaistalta. Lauantaina vuoden 2008 lopussa alkaneen kolmivaiheiseksi suunnitellun iskun ilmapommituksissa on Yhdistyneiden kansakuntien mukaan kuollut yli 400 palestiinalaista ja haavoittunut 1700. Kuolleista

A post-modernist is an outsider. In post-modern reality both our perception and comprehension are constantly being challenged by the media. Film, television, computer games and the internet are not only worlds outside us. These worlds shape our perception. Terms like aesthetics and truth apply only in a context of a group constituting a sub culture. Post-modernism emphasizes our position as

The Finnish Foreign Minister and current OSCE Chairman-in-Office Alexander Stubb clearly stated a couple of months ago that for Finland NATO is an option, but that the time to debate about whether or not to join is not now. It was refreshing to hear where Finns stood. In Finland NATO is not one of the themes of the ongoing and forthcoming municipal election debate, but it is still an important

Some time ago members of the United Nations Security Council were on a nine-day trip to Africa, which included visits to Khartoum and Darfur.

While news are widely considered as a democratic necessity we still have only few means of assessing and discussing the many ways in which the media affects us. We take news for granted.

Kuuden päivän sodassa vuonna 1967 Israelin miehitysvallan alaiseksi siirtyneet Gazan kaista ja Länsiranta ovat olleet uutisotsikoissa tähän päivään asti. Alueella asuvat palestiinalaiset ovat eläneet pitkään Israelin puolustusvoimien miehitysvallan alla vailla maan kansalaisuutta. Kansalaisuuden ansiosta israelinarabeilla on enemmän lainsuojaa kuin Länsirannan ja Gazan palestiinalaisilla.

American jazz pianist and composer Thelonius Monk had no definition for jazz. He said that “you’re just supposed to know it when you hear it”. In jazz, the performer never plays the same composition the same way twice. Jazz is defined by atonality, dissonance and improvisation. While jazz relies heavily on rhythm, some forms of jazz may abandon chords, scales and even rhythmic meters. I’ve
