1. ZAGREB, Croatia — Croatian television says about 10,000 people have gathered at a protest in the capital organized by the veterans of the country's 1991-95 independence war.

    Organizers say hundreds of others have been prevented from reaching Saturday's rally by police. The gathering at a central square in Zagreb comes just two days after several hundred protesters clashed with police at another anti-government rally.

    The veterans are protesting in support of a fellow veteran awaiting extradition to Serbia in a Bosnian prison. Many Croats also blame the government for economic hardship and alleged corruption.

    The Serb-Croat war erupted when Croatia declared independence from Serb-led Yugoslavia. Croatia is now seeking European Union membership.

  3. It's what drewhiggins said, but the main point is that we want this government to resign because unemployement is higher than ever. Now there are protests almost every day.



    One of the funniest photos.

    Its a long story. I want to go to college, but at this time, it isn't really a viable option.

    Waiting for superman, should have won an academy award, but unfortunantly, the liberals that control hollyweird dont like when someone shows the unions for what they are.
  7. Game Over, Gadafi.




    When thousands of copies from your Green Book are burned publicly in dozens of cities all around your country, you should realize that maybe people actually don't want you to leader them. Is it that hard? If I can understand it, then an experienced, old militar surely can understand it too.
  8. I say give them 10 more days till he's executed.

    Wicked as he is, we in the West have no business to try and intervene, that always only makes things worse.
