Deliberate Attack on Girls School
31-03-2026On the opening day - Saturday February 28 - of the combined US/Israeli war against Iran, an elementary girls school in the souther city MINAB was hit by three Tomahawk Missiles launched from a US. Destroyer. The officers on the ship could see the aims clearly. The first missile hit the school. The second hit the protected prayer room to which the children had escaped. The third hit the environment of the school. More than 175 children and their teachers were killed on this first school day of the week. As Trump launched the war without Congressional approval, no reporting is taken place on the conduct of the war. The details of the attack are given by Josephine Guilbeau, a former U.S. Intelligence officer (to be found on Youtube). International law is irrelevant for Trump and Hegseth (secretary of war).
That ought not be the European approach. The attack, if confirmed, is a Crime against Humanity, committed under the authority of the President of the United States, Donald Trump.

European Unification into the Twenty First Century
Footprints of the 20th Century - Third EditionDescription
The story of European Unification is fascinating. In 1950, two sworn enemies – France and Germany – decide to seek reconciliation and European federal unity. As a first step, they created the European Coal and Steel Community together with Italy and the Benelux countries. The fathers of this new Europe were visionary persons. Does today`s student or scholar still know who Robert Schuman, Konrad Adenauer, Alcide de Gasperi or Willem Beyen were and what they stood for?
