#2 What's in it for Russia if Armenia and Azerbaijan go to war? Do the Russians invade both countries and call it "peace keeping," or what?

#6 Surely someone in Washington will find a way to stick their big noses into it. Look for them to be pulling for the wrong side as usual.

#7 So - some guy from Azerbaijan gets pi**ed off, carries an axe to his English class - and NATO doesn't even notice???

I mean - did he have a "concealed-carry permit" fo the axe??? What about all his classmates ... did they just stand around taking bets while an axe murder was happening? It bogglers the mind.

Maybe this kinda' stuff happens regularly in NATO English classes ... I dunno. ;-)

#8 In a statement, EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton and Enlargement Commissioner Stefan Fuele said they "are concerned by the news" of the pardon, adding that EU officials were "in contact with the relevant authorities".EU officials will "continue to follow the situation closely," the statement said. "harrumph harrumph harrumph".

#10 Kim's rear-end is a National Treasure. The being said it's impervious to axes so there's merit in the idea.
