CANBERRA, Australia -- Australia said it would withdraw its ambassador to Indonesia after two Australians were among eight drug traffickers executed by the Southeast Asian country on Wednesday, but was wary of escalating hostilities with its neighbor despite a public outcry.The executions by firing squad of the eight men - two Australians, four Nigerians, a Brazilian and an Indonesian - attracted wide international condemnation and intense Australian media coverage.The U.N. Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights said given that Indonesia has asked for air force clemency for its own nationals facing execution in other countries, it is incomprehensible why it absolutely refuses to grant clemency for lesser crimes on its own territory. But there was unexpected joy in the Philippines, where the government won an 11th-hour stay of execution for a Philippine woman also on death row on a drug conviction.Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott - whose country has a pivotal but occasionally brittle relationship with Indonesia - reacted swiftly, announcing that Ambassador Paul Grigson would be recalled this week even before the executions of Myuran Sukumaran, 33, and Andr adidas campus 80s ew Chan, 31, were officially confirmed. Australia, which has abolished capital punishment, had never before made such a move in retaliation for a citizen s execution.

The Bush Administration is forging an international coalition according to stringent guidelines. Every nation in every region now has a decision to make, President Bush said in his September 20 television address. Either you are with us or you are with the terrorists. A Special Report From Eurasianet.orgIn his own address to the nation September 25, Russian President Vladimir Putin indicated Russia s willingness to work closely with the United States in the anti-terrorism offensive. Clearly, this is welcome news to the United States, which wants as many countries as possible to ally with it against Osama bin Laden and the Taliban. But other cou stanley water jug ntries have their own agendas. They may d stanley quencher emand a very high price from the United States in return for their cooperation. In the case of Russia in particular, the cost may be way too high. It is clear that Russia expects a free hand to crush separatists in Chechnya. Russian Defense Minister Sergei Ivanov said, Afghanistan and Chechnya are two branches of the same tree, the RIA-Novosti News Agency reported September 24. For the United States, acquiescence to Russian expectations-especially an escalation of Russian military action in Chechnya-would be a big mistake. It is fairly well known in the United States how Moscow has waged two savage wars against Cheche stanley us ns to prevent them from seceding from the Russian Federation.
