| In the fierce situation of Tjetjenia, Norwegian
foreign minister Knut Vollebek and staff, (Kim Traavik et al) made brave achievements to focus the media of the western world, and thus all decent
people there, on the suffering of the civil population in the remote
Caucasian regions. There were few more dangerous areas on the globe, on the first days of the millennium, then in between the Russian Army and the Tjetjenian "rebels". Fridtjof Nansen tried to alleviate Caucasian tensions more than eighty years ago and before him... Thor Heyerdahl, suddenly gone to his forefathers, claims, in his last book, that Odin, number one of the Norse Gods, always with his hand on the shaft of the spear, came from Asjerbadjan. Caucasus - Mother Of All Battles? In the new government of Magne Bondevik, Knut Vollebek is accredited as ambassador in USA and Ahmad Massoud is dead too, on the 10th of September 2001 - Caucasus will never be the same - no factual news anymore, no real focus of power. "Vacuum" of "asymmetric" politics - i.e. barbarity - Mother Of All Battles! Tomas Brusell
