"It's a shame," says the man, who wants to be called Petros, although that is not his real name. "We've been in Greece for many years. We don't make any trouble, we live a quiet life. Two of my children were born here. My oldest daughter was very young when we came to Greece. This is the only home they know." Like several thousand other Assyrians (from Iraq, Iran, Syria and Turkey) in Greece, Petros has no papers, no residence permit. And like countless others who fled Iraq read full story / add a comment

In an interview today Ariel Sharon dismissed American pressure to give up illegal settlements in exchange for peace, saying that every US administration up until now had been against them also but it hadn't stood in the way of US aid and support to date. He also said that the Israeli version of the Berlin wall will be re-routed to annex settlements such as Beit El into Israel.
