Israel successfully tests anti-rocket system By MATTI FRIEDMAN, Associated Press Writer – Fri Mar 27, 7:30 am ET

JERUSALEM – Israel has successfully tested a high-tech system designed to protect civilians from rocket attacks by militant groups in Gaza and south Lebanon, the Defense Ministry said.Defense officials said Friday in the wake of the test that the Iron Dome system's development is on schedule and will likely meet its target date of 2010, when it is due to begin shooting down incoming rockets fired by Gaza militants.

A ministry statement released Thursday evening said that in a series of tests this week the system faced rockets of the type fired by Palestinian and Lebanese militants, and operated successfully regarding the targets of the test.The statement termed the tests a milestone.It did not say specifically what the tests entailed and stopped short of saying the Iron Dome had actually shot rockets down with an interceptor missile, which it is designed to eventually do.The officials, speaking on condition of anonymity in line with defense ministry regulations, said there has yet to be an intercept by the system.They have said in the past that the first intercept is expected at the end of 2009.Developed at a cost of over $200 million, the system is intended to eventually fire missiles that home in on incoming short and medium-range rockets of the type used by militant groups Hamas and Hezbollah.Hamas and other Palestinian militant groups have launched thousands of rockets into Israel from Gaza since 2001, sparking numerous Israeli military incursions, most recently the devastating three-week Gaza war that ended Jan. 18. Rocket fire has continued since the war, though it has dropped off in recent weeks.In 2006, Hezbollah and Israel fought a monthlong war that saw the Shiite militants launch thousands of medium-range rockets into northern Israel as Israeli forces pushed into south Lebanon.

Both militant groups have close ties to Iran.

Around one million Israelis live within range of Hamas rockets. Israel believes that Hezbollah possesses rockets that can reach the country's center in Tel Aviv, meaning that most Israelis are now in range of rockets from the north and the south. That makes the development of an anti-rocket system a priority for Israel.

Thousands flee Fargo ahead of menacing floodwaters By PATRICK CONDON and DAN SEWELL, Associated Press Writers MAR 27,09

FARGO, N.D. – Thousands of shivering, tired residents got out while they could and others prayed that miles of sandbagged levees would hold Friday as the surging Red River threatened to unleash the biggest flood North Dakota's largest city has ever seen.The agonizing decision to stay or go came as the final hours ticked down before an expected crest Saturday evening, when the ice-laden river could climb as high as 43feet, nearly 3 feet higher than the record set 112 years ago.It's to the point now where I think we've done everything we can, said resident Dave Davis, whose neighborhood was filled with backhoes and tractors building an earthen levee. The only thing now is divine intervention.Even after the floodwaters crest, the water may not begin receding before Wednesday, creating a lingering risk of a catastrophic failure in levees put together mostly by volunteers.National Guard troops fanned out in the bitter cold to inspect floodwalls for leaks and weak spots, and residents piled sandbags on top of 12 miles of snow-covered dikes. The freezing weather froze the bags solid, turning them into what townspeople hoped would be a watertight barrier.Hundreds more Guard troops poured in from around the state and neighboring South Dakota, along with scores of American Red Cross workers from as far away as Modesto, Calif.Homeowners, students and small armies of other volunteers filled sandbags in temperatures that barely rose into the double digits.The river swelled Friday to 40.67 feet — more than 22 feet above flood stage and beyond the previous high-water mark of 40.1 feet in 1897. In one flooded neighborhood, a man paddled a canoe through ice floes and swirling currents.Fargo Mayor Dennis Walaker cautiously expressed hope that the river would stay below 43 feet — the limit of the reinforced dikes. Walaker said there was not enough time to build the levees any higher.

Fargo escaped devastation from flooding in 1997, when Grand Forks was ravaged by a historic flood 70 miles to the north. This year, the river has been swollen by heavier-than-average winter snows, combined with an early freeze last fall that locked a lot of moisture into the soil. The threat has been made worse by spring rains.I think the river is mad that she lost the last time, said engineer Mike Buerkley, managing a smile through his dark stubble as he tossed sandbags onto his pickup truck after working 29 straight hours.Some 1,700 National Guard troops helped reinforce the dikes and conduct patrols for leaks. Police restricted traffic to allow trucks laden with sandbags, backhoes and other heavy equipment to get through.Guard member Shawna Cale, 25, worked through the night on a dike, handing up sandbags that were 30 to 40 pounds and frozen-solid.It's like throwing a frozen turkey, said sister-in-law Tawny Cale, who came with her husband to help with the sandbags and then to help Shawna move her valuables as she evacuated.When it hurts when you lift your arms, you have to stop, Shawna Cale said.City Administrator Pat Zavoral said the cold firms up the bags, strengthening the dikes. If you lay loose bags and now they're frozen, they're like a frozen ice cube. It's good shape.Authorities said they were keeping about 300,000 of the 3 million sandbags they had Friday in warm buildings for use as needed. Sandbags that are already frozen when piled onto a dike do not fit together snugly.But the freezing temperatures actually helped stave off worse flooding; officials said the river was rising more slowly because the freezing temperatures prevented snow from melting. The White House said it was monitoring flooding in North Dakota and Minnesota, and President Barack Obama has dispatched the acting head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency to the region. White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said Obama has personally spoken with the governors of both states and with Fargo's mayor. The president called North Dakota Sen. Kent Conrad on his cell phone during a news conference in Bismarck on flooding problems there and in Fargo. If there's anything more that we can do, we will do it, Obama said after Conrad held the phone up to a microphone. Authorities in Fargo and across the river in Moorhead — a city of about 30,000 people — expanded evacuations Friday across several blocks. About 2,600 households in Moorhead — about a third of the city — were asked to leave their homes. Hundreds more in Fargo were asked to evacuate.

Some residents were roused from their sleep around 2 a.m. Friday and told to leave after authorities found a leak in a dike. They expected to be able to patch it securely.More than 100 inmates were taken from the county jail in Fargo to other lockups in the region, and Moorhead planned to evacuate the police station because of encroaching floodwaters. U.S. Sen. Byron Dorgan said Northwest Airlines was sending two jetliners to move hospital patients to safer areas. The effort to fortify flood-prone neighborhoods took place around the city, with officials building a contingency dike system as a second line of defense should the river breach riverside neighborhoods. But some residents were left between the two sets of dikes. There are people who are angry about being on the wrong side of the dike,said Tim Mahoney, a Fargo city commissioner whose home is in one of the wrong-side neighborhoods. We have a 500-year flood that we're combatting, and we think we're doing as well as we can, Mahoney said.Residents in another of those neighborhoods placed pumps in their yards in hopes of keeping water out of their homes. Tina Kraft took everything of value or importance in her basement and first floor and moved it upstairs. We've prepared for it as best we can,she said. We really just have to be ready for our house to be flooded.Deanne Mason and her husband were awakened by the sound of backhoes and tractors building the backup dike. I'm not so worried about losing my house, she said. It's just stuff. But it's emotionally draining to watch this.In the small town of Oakport Township just north of Moorhead, fire crews watched as a fire destroyed a home surrounded by sandbags that protected it from floodwaters. Clay County Emergency Operations Center spokesman Dan Olson said fire crews couldn't get closer than 200 feet from the home because the area around it was so flooded. No injuries were reported and the cause of the blaze was not immediately known.On the Canadian side of the northern-flowing Red River, ice-clogged culverts, ice jams and the rising river threatened Manitoba residents. Several homes were evacuated north of Winnipeg and several dozen houses were flooded.Associated Press Writers Nate Jenkins in Oakport Township, Minn., and Steve Karnowski in Minneapolis contributed to this story.

New eruptions at Alaska's Mount Redoubt volcano By MARY PEMBERTON, Associated Press Writer MAR 27,09

EAGLE RIVER, Alaska – Alaska's Mount Redoubt continued its volcanic explosions Friday, sending ash clouds as high as 50,000 feet above sea level and prompting drivers to head to the auto parts store for new air filters.The National Weather Service said most of the ash was expected to fall to the north, but trace amounts of ash from eruptions on two Friday and smaller ones overnight could fall on Anchorage itself.Since the series of eruptions began Sunday night, the volcano has had several bursts. One on Thursday sent ash 65,000 feet high. The last time the volcano had erupted was during a four-month period in late 1989 and early 1990.Two mudflows produced by the volcano Friday were moving down a slough and tributary toward the Drift River Terminal, where 6.2 million gallons of oil is stored, said Chris Waythomas, a geologist with the Alaska Volcano Observatory.A concrete-reinforced dike is holding the mud back and protecting the terminal's oil storage tanks from damage.

The Coast Guard said the plan was to keep the oil in the tanks instead of draining it.

The oil is safe where it is at right now,said Coast Guard Cmdr. Joseph Losciuto.

Closer to Anchorage, the concern Friday was ash, a fear that proved mostly unfounded. There were no immediate reports of ash falling in the city.Airborne volcanic ash, even in relatively small amounts, can damage airplane and automobile engines. Because of the eruptions, Alaska Airlines, the state's largest carrier, said there were limited flights in and out of Anchorage.Cissy Matson, manager for the NAPA Auto Parts store in suburban Eagle River, said dozens of people had come in Thursday asking about air filters and it looked like it would be another busy day Friday.Early Friday morning, Matson was outside the store giving Becki Ezzell a quick lesson on where to put the new air filter she was buying for her 20-year-old daughter's car.I know that ash chokes off the air to the engine and it just stops. That would be very scary for her,Ezzell said.Ezzell had another worry, too: The eruption had stranded her husband at the Minneapolis airport. They were just getting on the plane and it blew, Ezzell said.He thought he was on his way home.Still, Ezzell, who has lived in Alaska since 1969, said she's seen far worse when it comes to volcanoes exploding and spewing ash.
I'm not going to make a big to-do about a little ash, she said.

A Factsheet - February 2009 Special Drawing Rights (SDRs)

The SDR is an international reserve asset, created by the IMF in 1969 to supplement the existing official reserves of member countries. SDRs are allocated to member countries in proportion to their IMF quotas. The SDR also serves as the unit of account of the IMF and some other international organizations. Its value is based on a basket of key international currencies.

Why was the SDR created and what is it used for today?
The Special Drawing Right (SDR) was created by the IMF in 1969 to support the Bretton Woods fixed exchange rate system. A country participating in this system needed official reserves—government or central bank holdings of gold and widely accepted foreign currencies—that could be used to purchase the domestic currency in world foreign exchange markets, as required to maintain its exchange rate. But the international supply of two key reserve assets— gold and the U.S. dollar—proved inadequate for supporting the expansion of world trade and financial development that was taking place. Therefore, the international community decided to create a new international reserve asset under the auspices of the IMF. However, only a few years later, the Bretton Woods system collapsed and the major currencies shifted to a floating exchange rate regime. In addition, the growth in international capital markets facilitated borrowing by creditworthy governments. Both of these developments lessened the need for SDRs. Today, the SDR has only limited use as a reserve asset, and its main function is to serve as theunit of account of the IMF and some other international organizations. The SDR is neither a currency, nor a claim on the IMF. Rather, it is a potential claim on the freely usable currencies of IMF members. Holders of SDRs can obtain these currencies in exchange for their SDRs in two ways: first, through the arrangement of voluntary exchanges between members; and second, by the IMF designating members with strong external positions to purchase SDRs from members with weak external positions.

SDR valuation
The value of the SDR was initially defined as equivalent to 0.888671 grams of fine gold—which, at the time, was also equivalent to one U.S. dollar. After the collapse of the Bretton Woods system in 1973, however, the SDR was redefined as a basket of currencies,today consisting of the euro, Japanese yen, pound sterling, and U.S. dollar. The U.S. dollar-value of the SDR is posted daily on the IMF's website. It is calculated as the sum of specific amounts of the four currencies valued in U.S. dollars, on the basis of exchange rates quoted at noon each day in the London market.

The basket composition is reviewed every five years to ensure that it reflects the relative importance of currencies in the world's trading and financial systems. In the most recent review in November 2005, the weights of the currencies in the SDR basket were revised based on the value of the exports of goods and services and the amount of reserves denominated in the respective currencies which were held by other members of the IMF. These changes became effective on January 1, 2006. The next review by the Executive Board will take place in late 2010.

The SDR interest rate
The SDR interest rate provides the basis for calculating the interest charged to members on regular (non-concessional) IMF loans, the interest paid and charged to members on their SDR holdings, and the interest paid to members on a portion of their quota subscriptions. The SDR interest rate is determined weekly and is based on a weighted average of representative interest rates on short-term debt in the money markets of the SDR basket currencies.

SDR allocations
Under its Articles of Agreement, the IMF may allocate SDRs to members in proportion to their IMF quotas. Such an allocation provides each member with a costless asset on which interest is neither earned nor paid. However, if a member's SDR holdings rise above its allocation, it earns interest on the excess; conversely, if it holds fewer SDRs than allocated, it pays interest on the shortfall. The Articles of Agreement also allow for cancellations of SDRs, but this provision has never been used. The IMF cannot allocate SDRs to itself.

There are two kinds of allocations:

General allocations of SDRs have to be based on a long-term global need to supplement existing reserve assets. General allocations are considered every five years, although decisions to allocate SDRs have been made only twice. The first allocation was for a total amount of SDR 9.3 billion, distributed in 1970-72. The second allocation was distributed in 1979-81 and brought the cumulative total of SDR allocations to SDR 21.4 billion. A proposal for a special one-time allocation of SDRs was approved by the IMF's Board of Governors in September 1997 through the proposed Fourth Amendment of the Articles of Agreement. This allocation would double cumulative SDR allocations to SDR 42.8 billion. Its intent is to enable all members of the IMF to participate in the SDR system on an equitable basis and correct for the fact that countries that joined the Fund after 1981—more than one fifth of the current IMF membership—have never received an SDR allocation. The Fourth Amendment will become effective when three fifths of the IMF membership (111 members) with 85 percent of the total voting power accept it. Currently, 131 members with 77.68 percent of total voting power had accepted the proposed amendment. Approval by the United States, with 16.75 percent of total votes, would put the amendment into effect.IMF EXTERNAL RELATIONS DEPARTMENT.

12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer,(SATAN) son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.

REVELATION 12:3-4
3 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon,(SATAN) having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.
4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven,(1/3RD OF ANGELS WERE BOOTED FROM HEAVEN WITH SATAN) and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.

More PhotosAudience Questions the Panel
As the debate progressed, Chopra tangled not only with his fellow panelists but also with the crowd. One audience member suggested that one cannot believe in God without believing in Satan. The problem, my friend, is as soon as you define God you limit God,Chopra replied.Any image of God is a limitation because if God is infinite then God is beyond your imagination because you cannot imagine the infinite. For you to define God and give him these simple qualities is to actually limit God. God is beyond good and evil. God is transcendent.Another audience member pressed Chopra his own experience and interpretation of God. God is our highest instinct to understand ourselves, Chopra said.It's my interpretation. I can only express my experience. I'm not denying you your experience. …mine is more consistent with our understanding of biology and our understanding of evolution and our understanding of the laws of Nature, in my opinion.God's love, it's not about arguing and the Devil -- and they're both real and you can't have one without the other. In my personal experience I believe this to be true. I can't say this for everyone in this audience or for the entire world, but I know that God's in my heart and I love people and the only way I could see God was to know that the Devil was real and that's my truth that God showed me.For Driscoll, the experience was fun. That was great fun,he said. I loved it.My hope would be just that people would reexamine their beliefs. Particularly if they are not Christian. To go back to considering some of the issues of Christianity and Jesus. You are not going to change someone's mind with one debate or one television show. But you can set them on a course of action whereby they study and maybe come to some new conclusions.

China Chastises West in Leadership Bid Before G-20 (Update1)
By Li Yanping and Kevin Hamlin

March 27 (Bloomberg) -- China is scolding the world before the Group of 20 meeting next week, telling the largest countries to spend more on stimulus and fix their financial supervision. Central bank Governor Zhou Xiaochuan yesterday lambasted governments that failed to emulate China’s decisive action to spur economic growth. Earlier this week he suggested creating a new international reserve currency to rival the dollar. Evidence that China’s 4 trillion yuan ($585 billion) stimulus package is taking effect is emboldening the nation’s leaders to dictate their vision for a new world economic and financial order. Premier Wen Jiabao said this month he was worried about the value of China’s $740 billion in U.S. Treasury holdings and asked for a guarantee of their safety. China can stand up and say,Our policies have worked, we have stabilized our economy first,said Glenn Maguire, chief Asia-Pacific economist at Societe Generale SA in Hong Kong.China is positioning itself to have a much more significant role and influence at this G-20 meeting than it has at any other international forum in the past.Leaders of the 20 largest industrial and developing nations meet in London on April 2 to look for ways to alleviate the global financial crisis and strengthen international regulation. The World Bank this month said the global economy will probably shrink for the first time since World War II.

China Recovery?

China’s leaders, including Zhou and President Hu Jintao, will be able to justify their policy prescriptions by pointing to signs of recovery in their economy, which last year surpassed Germany’s to become the world’s third-largest by output. Urban fixed-asset investment jumped 26.5 percent in the first two months from a year earlier, new bank lending quadrupled in February and vehicle sales rose 25 percent the same month. The 30 percent gain in the Shanghai Composite Index this year makes it the best-performing among 89 benchmark measures tracked worldwide by Bloomberg.

The government has taken prompt, decisive and effective policy measures, demonstrating its superior system advantage when it comes to making vital policy decisions,Zhou wrote in an article published on the central bank’s Web site yesterday. China’s taking the offensive,said Jun Ma, chief China economist at Deutsche Bank AG in Hong Kong.China needs to play a much more prominent role in the run-up to the G-20 because it is a critical moment to participate in the new design and architecture of the global financial system.

20 Million Jobless

China’s 6.8 percent expansion in the fourth quarter from the same period a year earlier lagged behind its 9 percent growth for all of 2008 and 13 percent for 2007. Exports have dropped at a record pace, forcing thousands of factories to close and leaving about 20 million migrant workers jobless. That hasn’t stopped a steady stream of instructions to the rest of the world in recent days. Governments need to step up economic stimulus to restore market confidence and fend off trade protectionism, Finance Minister Xie Xuren said in a statement yesterday. Wang Qishan, China’s vice premier, called on the G-20 to set a timetable to modify voting at institutions like the International Monetary Fund to give developing countries more say in global financial affairs, in an article published in the Times today in London. The U.S. is injecting $787 billion into its economy while European stimulus totals 400 billion euros ($542 billion), almost all from individual nations rather than the European Union.

U.S. Complacency

China’s central bank yesterday blamed the financial crisis on complacency and a conviction in the U.S. and developed economies that markets always correct themselves.Market forces, if unchecked, will lead to asset bubbles and ultimately a disastrous market clearing in the form of a financial crisis like the current one, the research arm of the People’s Bank of China said in a separate article published on its Web site yesterday. A lack of coordination among regulatory agencies and communications between regulators and central bankers and finance ministers in some advanced countries” hampered efforts for a financial rescue, the research arm said.

China’s lecturing comes after decades when leaders focused on their own economy and let the U.S. and its allies set the international norms on financial regulation, said Charles Freeman, a former top trade negotiator who covered China at the U.S. Trade Representative’s office in Washington.

Navel-Gaze

They’ve jockeyed for position, they’ve thought a lot about these things and they are making themselves be heard while the Europeans and the Japanese kind of navel-gaze and sideline themselves,he said. Some of Zhou’s recommendations jibe with those of U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, who called for a so-called systemic risk regulator to oversee big financial institutions and federal authority to seize them if they run into trouble. Zhou said yesterday that governments should consider giving mandates to finance ministries and central banks to use extraordinary means in order to allow them to act boldly and expeditiously without having to go through a lengthy or even painful approval process.In another article this week, also published on the central bank’s Web site, Zhou urged the International Monetary Fund to expand the use of so-called Special Drawing Rights and move toward a super-sovereign reserve currency.Zhou is clearly trying to establish himself and China as taking a lead position in shaping the global response to the crisis, said Mark Williams, a London-based economist at Capital Economics Ltd.A more engaged China is something the world should welcome.To contact the reporters on this story: Li Yanping in Beijing at yli16@bloomberg.netKevin Hamlin in Beijing at khamlin@bloomberg.net Last Updated: March 27, 2009 02:50 EDT

Earth Hour to turn the world dark on Saturday
By Isabel Gonçalves27 March 2009 @ 10:37 am EST

NEW YORK - The world will go dark on Saturday night beginning from New Zealand's remote Chatham Islands and then spreading to thousands of cities, towns, and landmarks in observance of Earth Hour.On Saturday, the World Wildlife Fund is promoting Earth Hour, which is the WWF’s plea to people around the world to turn off their lights at 8:30 p.m. local time for an hour in order to raise awareness for action on climate change.The slogan for the event is, Your light switch is your vote, and they claim that, switching off your light switch is a vote for Earth, according to their site. Their goal is to inspire one billion people worldwide to participate.

About 2,800 cities in 83 countries — including 250 in the United States — had signed up, according to Dan Forman, a spokesman for World Wildlife Fund.Some symbolic monuments of large cities have also pledged to participate including the St. Louis Gateway Arch, the Golden Gate Bridge, the Eiffel Tower, New York City's Empire State Building, Egypt's Great Pyramid of Giza and many other iconic structures.Even companies are getting involved with Coca-Cola offering to turn off its big signs around the world, including a marquee in New York's Times Square.Meanwhile, United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon recently pledged his support for Earth Hour, saying it has the potential to be the largest demonstration of public concern about climate change ever attempted.

24 And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings(10 NATIONS) that shall arise: and another shall rise after them;(#11 SPAIN) and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings.( BE HEAD OF 3 NATIONS)
25 And he (EU PRESIDENT) shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.(3 1/2 YRS)

DANIEL 8:23-25
23 And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king (EU DICTATOR) of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences,(FROM THE OCCULT) shall stand up.
24 And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power:(SATANS POWER) and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people.
25 And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes;(JESUS) but he shall be broken without hand.

37 Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers,(THIS EU DICTATOR IS JEWISH) nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all.(CLAIM TO BE GOD)
38 But in his estate shall he honour the God of forces:(WAR) and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things.
39 Thus shall he do in the most strong holds with a strange god,(DESTROY TERROR GROUPS) whom he shall acknowledge and increase with glory: and he shall cause them to rule over many,(HIS ARMY LEADERS) and shall divide the land for gain.

European NATO members at odds over strategic priorities
VALENTINA POP 27.03.2009 @ 09:35 CET

EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS – NATO is increasingly lacking solidarity and unity of vision over future strategic options, such as its relation with Russia and enlargement, a study issued by the Hague Centre for Strategic Studies, a Dutch think-tank, shows.

Issued just a week ahead of NATO's 60th anniversary summit, the study, Finding a path away from NATO de-solidarisation is aimed at feeding into the drafting of the alliance's new strategic concept, which dates back to 1999. The 26 NATO heads of state and government are set to start work on a new concept at the summit.Challenged by new problems such as the economic crisis, the race for Arctic resources, and a resurgent Russia and China, NATO is facing the strategic necessity of reconciling its traditional role – providing for the security of its members – with that of coping with these new challenges, the report highlighted.Carried out amongst 300 experts and students on transatlantic security, the study was launched on Thursday (27 March) at the Security and Defence Agenda, a Brussels-based think-tank that focuses on EU-NATO issues. As is the case with the EU, NATO is found to be divided over relations with Russia because some members see the eastern neighbour as a security threat, especially after the gas crisis and the Georgian war, while others consider it a necessary partner, the study found.Members are also at odds over the issue of NATO enlargement, which is seen as both inevitable but undesirable. The biggest thorn in NATO-Russian relations, enlargement to Georgia and Ukraine, has been put off for now, yet allies have committed to their membership at some point in the future.

Speaking at the event, Hungarian ambassador to NATO Zoltan Martinusz pleaded in favour of NATO's enlargement policy, which saw his country join after the fall of the Iron Curtain.NATO has a strong role in promoting transformation and change, and the political transformation of Eastern Europe was one of the historic successes of NATO, done a hundred percent by political, not military means,Mr Martinusz said.The Hungarian diplomat dismissed the idea that eastern European members refused to transform their forces to be more expeditionary and deployable abroad, but preferred to keep more static troops which could defend them from a classical terrestrial invasion, alluding to the one Georgia faced last summer when after Tbilisi's attack on South Ossetia, the Russian army invaded its territory with tanks.We don't have static forces anymore. Hungary only borders allies, and from hundreds of tanks, we only have six now, for training purposes,he said.

German revolution

Meanwhile, on Thursday, German Chancellor Angela Merkel called for a revolutionary transformation of NATO, ahead of the summit that she is to co-host with the French president in Strasbourg and Kehl.Ms Merkel stressed that the military alliance needs to co-operate closely with civil organisations such as the European Union and the United Nations.I don't see a global NATO. The alliance is and remains focused on the collective security of north-Atlantic partners,she said.

Eurozone security risks

Meanwhile, the security aspects of the current economic crisis also featured at the event.A potential break-up of the eurozone, a topic of speculation in financial circles, could have a significant impact on European security and defence, the head of the Dutch think-tank said at the event.We don't know yet what the outcome of the financial and economic crisis would be. If the eurozone breaks up - there is this possibility - then it will surely affect defence and security in Europe. But the crisis could also lead to more integration. It could go both ways,said Rob de Wijk, the director of the Hague Centre.Mr de Wijk later told EUobserver that talk about a eurozone breakup was no longer as taboo as [it was] two to three months ago and is being debated in the financial world. Such fears mainly revolve around the troubles that Ireland and southern members of the single currency – Portugal, Spain, Italy and Greece, have in selling bonds and stabilising their growing deficits.The Dutch think-tank is closely following the security impact of the financial crisis, particularly in terms of a power shift from the West to the East, notably due to China's rising financial power, he explained.

Italian right-wing merger to shake up EU parliament politics
LEIGH PHILLIPS 27.03.2009 @ 09:30 CET

EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - The populist right-wing party of Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi on Friday officially merges with the post-fascist Alleanza Nazionale at the founding congress of Il Popolo della Liberta, the powerful new rightist bloc that is not only set to dominate Italian politics for the foreseeable future, but will also wield considerable power in the European Parliament after the June elections.A three-day, €3 million extravaganza, with jumbotron screens and menus is to celebrate the fusing of the two parties, a long-expected move that brings Mr Berlusconi one step closer to his dream of a unified Italian right.The Italian leader will become the head of Il Popolo della Liberta (People of Freedom), although his ambitious rival and chief of the now disbanded Alleanza, Gianfranco Fini has indicated he has his sights on the leadership should Mr Berlusconi exit the stage.

Berlusconi knows that his strong and recognised leadership can in no way become a personality cult, Mr Fini, also the speaker of the Chamber of Deputies, the Italian parliament's lower house, told the final conference of his own party. We must guarantee that the People of Freedom is not the party of one person, but of one country.The move cements the coalition between two of the three major forces on the Italian right. Forza Italia and the Alleanza Nazionale have partnered since the 1990s and in last year's general election ran together under the Il Popolo della Liberta banner, prefiguring today's fusion.The Alleanza Nazionale was formed by Mr Fini out of the Italian Social Movement (MSI), the former neo-fascist party, together with a handful of conservative ex-Christian Democrats and Liberals.Despite once having called Italy's fascist leader, Benito Mussolini, the greatest statesman of the 20th century, Mr Fini has since tried to distance himself from his far right past, making numerous trips to Israel and even criticising elements of the recent hardline security package that targets immigrants and minorities.Mr Berlusconi's dream is not fully realised, however, as the xenophobic Northern League remains steadfastly outside the bloc.

Italian president of the European Parliament?

The Italian leader has already set the cat amongst the pigeons in the European Parliament's centre-right grouping, the European People's Party-European Democrats (EPP-ED), in which Il Popolo della Liberta is set to be the largest party after June.

The largest national delegation in the grouping, Germany's Christian Democrats and their Bavarian cousins, the Christian Social Union, are expected to shrink following the EP elections and the UK Conservatives have announced they are to exit the group. Meanwhile, the entry of the Alleanza Nazionale into the EPP under umbrella of Il Popolo della Liberta significantly beefs up the Italian delegation in the centre-right grouping.Mr Berlusconi's bloc is testing its predicted new bulk, having this week sent a letter to other EPP national delegations announcing that he will be supporting MEP Mario Mauro for the presidency of the chamber.The move threatens to scuttle the gentleman's agreement between the EPP and the Party of European Socialists (PES), the second largest political family in the house, that Polish centre-right MEP Jerzy Buzek would be president for the first two and a half years of the five-year presidential term, and Martin Schulz, the German Social Democrat leader of the PES would be president for the remaining half term.
