Українським виборцям пропонується обирати серцем або душею, але не розумом. Тому українські вибори проходять приблизно за тими самими законами жанру, що й конкурси краси, кастінги в бордель або шоу «А ну-ка, девушки!». Я гадаю, що це хибна практика, від якої треба відходити.
From banks’ perspective, the most obvious lesson of the financial crisis was the need for a strong national government to bear the potential costs of a rescue. It is no longer best to be where the most favorable regulatory regime prevails, but to be where the state has the deepest pockets.

History often moves with small steps, but such steps sometimes turn out to have big implications. This could well be true of the new EU institutions being established this year under the Lisbon Treaty, but whether the EU will be seen as a model for the future or as a museum of the past depends on whether it remains committed to an open Europe in an open world.
Israel's accession to NATO has frequently been proposed as a way to encourage it to make the necessary concessions for an Arab-Israeli peace settlement, and some Israeli leaders, like Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman, believe that NATO accession would deter Iran.

Беспечность нулевых возвращается – моя коллега недавно купила машину. Огромный американский внедорожник, потребляющий топлива как небольшой европейский город, транспортный налог на его мощности равен приблизительно налоговым сборам штата Вайоминг.
