The eccentric Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi says he has been trying to mediate a settlement of North Korea��s nuclear problem but with limited success. In a meeting with South Korean Prime Minister Han Myeong-sook in the Libyan capital of Tripoli early Thursday (Korea time),[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Col. Gaddafi said his country had renounced nuclear weapons to contribute to world peace but international aid has been insufficient,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and because of this there was a lack of incentive to persuade North Korea to follow suit. It was the first time for Libya,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which often held up as a model for North Korea,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], to express dissatisfaction.

��Since Libya abandoned its weapons of mass destruction programs and went down the path of openness and reform,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it has seen annual economic growth of 7 percent,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],�� Han said. ��We asked for help in persuading North Korea to also give up its nuclear programs.�� Gaddafi promised to give it another try.
After secret negotiations with the U.K. and the U.S., Libya announced it would give up all WMD programs,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and the U.S. loosened economic sanctions and last June removed Libya from the list of nations sponsoring terrorism. In a January 2005 meeting with South Korean Foreign Minister Ban Ki-moon,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Gaddafi said North Korea and Iran need to follow the same path as Libya and the international community must aid in the peaceful use of nuclear technology. In an August meeting with Japanese Minister for Science and Technology Iwao Matsuda, Gaddafi said he was in the midst of trying to convince North Korea to abandon its weapons development and asked other countries to join him in the effort.

Han was not told that the meeting with the colonel would take place until two hours before, and it went ahead in characteristic style with a small army of the Libyan leader��s bodyguards in attendance. Due to the lack of prior notice,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Han was not sure of when the meeting would really happen,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and it is understood that a stand-in was prepared to handle her other engagements in case she was summoned at any moment.
The summit took place under the watchful eye of heavily armed troops and patrolling tanks,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and the Korean PM was reportedly made to walk through some five different doors before meeting Gaddafi. The self-styled African leader then spread out a map that forced the prime minister to rise and lean in his direction to hear what he was saying. A South Korean government official later described the antics as ��Libyan custom.��

President Lee Myung-bak chaired his first emergency economic meeting Thursday in the newly-created situation room located in the bunker of the Cheong Wa Dae,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
Lee called for thorough and preemptive measures against the global economic downturn,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which he says is beginning to impact Korea's real economy. He said government ministries should work together closely to develop response measures.
He emphasized the importance of a hands-on approach to the economic difficulties that businesses are facing,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], warning the council against relying merely on statistical indicators.
For about two hours Lee's economy-related ministers and officials,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], along with vice-ministerial staff dispatched to the situation room,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], focused on getting liquidity to the nation's small- and medium-sized businesses.
It was decided the government will provide W50 trillion (US$1=W1,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],328) to state-owned lenders so more loans will be available for businesses. More than 60 percent of the money will be dispensed in the first half of this year.
The emergency council also decided to expand the debt guarantee capacity of state-owned credit agencies by more than 46 percent to some W25 trillion,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], in a bid to make lending easier for smaller businesses.
Some analysts have questioned whether the current economic situation really warrants the war-room mentality of holding economic meetings in an underground bunker,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
After the meeting,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Cheong Wa Dae spokesman Lee Dong-kwan clarified to reporters that the top office set up the situation room in a bunker because it is already wired to concentrate real-time economic data in the space-squeezed presidential complex.

What other reckless actions can we expect from the president during what are effectively the last two months of his tenure? Not a man resigned to his fate as a lame duck, he will play every last one of his remaining cards. The remarks he has made and the things he has done since returning from Pyongyang suggest he has thrown all caution overboard when it comes inter-Korean issues and national security. Which country's president is he? He went so far as to say the country would be ��ruined" if it followed the advice of a certain presidential contender. Is that something a president should say about his country?
Many are fed up with President Roh Moo-hyun. Many have talked to him as much as they could, attempting to persuade and advise him with good sense. But he didn��t care. He regarded all criticism of him as malicious and everyone critical of him as the enemy. And he closed his heart and mind as if to say, "I'll go my own way."
Some say there is no need to pay him any more attention. It doesn��t matter how much noise he makes, they reason,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], he only has two months left in office. But that isn��t true: he is capable of anything, even until a few days before he retires. Such a person cannot be judged with common sense. He behaves as if the less interested people are in him, the more he needs to prove he exists.
The problem is his policy toward North Korea. Other matters can be repaired by the next administration, but our national security and defense and our relationship with the U.S. and North Korea are in irreversible trouble once he takes action. We cannot afford to overlook his view that we need ��three- or four-party talks�� on a peace declaration,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a vicious cycle of so-called inter-Korean economic cooperation, concessions on the Northern Limit Line (Korea's de facto sea boarder along the west coast), and the end of any attempt to persuade the North to reform and open up. Cheong Wa Dae is set to summon the business leaders who accompanied him to Pyongyang on Tuesday in a bid to more or less force them to offer "gifts" of economic cooperation. That in itself is a decisive step.
Is there no way to stop it? Roh,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a so-called legal expert,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], bragged after a review,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], "My successor will have to honor a bill I issue even on the last day of my term." Does that mean that we have no way at all of bouncing any check he issues? We will have to drop the common sense our distinguished ancestors and scholars taught. Had they been applicable,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], he wouldn't have come this far. To a man who takes pleasure in frustrating the designs of others,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], common sense does not apply.
But neither can we stand idly by. Some suggest impeachment,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but we have neither time to do so nor is the legislature in a position to take such extreme measures. It would suit Roh, who enjoys games of contrary ideas. Still, the way to stop him in the current circumstances lies in the National Assembly. It is for the ruling and opposition parties to discuss the matter and submit a resolution to ignore the Roh administration��s attempts to railroad through any bills on North Korea,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], national security and economic cooperation and let the next administration and president handle them.
Since the issues Roh is pushing are not urgent and leave plenty of room in the details of implementation,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it's only reasonable to let the next administration deal with them. If the ruling camp picks a single presidential candidate, policy consistency and continuity will be ensured and the ideology of a new president carved out more clearly. There is no reason to concede such a precious opportunity to the incumbent, whose power is all but used up. And in the event the opposition takes power,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the matters in question will be open to reconsideration. Here lies a chance for bipartisan agreement.
If the ruling and opposition presidential candidates agree,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the National Assembly would be able to produce a resolution calling to leave specifics of the inter-Korean joint declaration to the next administration. And the voters will judge the outcome in the December presidential election and the April general elections. We cannot leave the task of handling the basic framework of inter-Korean issues to a soon-to-retire chief executive as a sacrifice to his desire to accomplish things or satisfy his populist instincts.

Afghan National Army soldiers patrol on the outskirts of Kandahar city,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], southern Afghanistan,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 18 Jun 2008
Afghan officials say some 20 Taliban militants have been killed in the south of the country, where NATO and Afghan forces began a joint offensive against the insurgents.
The Afghan defense ministry said two Afghan army officers were also killed during the operation in the Arghandab district,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], north of Kandahar city. The joint military offensive,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which involved helicopter gunships and heavy arms,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], was launched earlier today
The defense ministry said Tuesday that hundreds of Taliban fighters had infiltrated a number of villages near Kandahar,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but the U.S. Defense Department later said that was an overstatement.
Thousands of people in the area have recently left their homes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. NATO planes have been dropping leaflets urging people to stay indoors in case of fighting,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
Also today,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the British defense ministry said four of its soldiers were killed by a roadside blast Tuesday during an operation in southern Helmand province.
Arghandab district near Kandahar is a strategic hub long sought by the Taliban,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
Nearly 1,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],200 inmates broke out of a Kandahar prison Friday with the help of a suicide bomber who blew open the prison gates. At least 400 suspected Taliban fighters were among the prisoners.
A U.S.-led invasion pushed the Taliban from power in 2001,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but supporters of the extremist Islamist group remain a deadly threat to the tens of thousands of foreign forces in Afghanistan.

U.S. President Bush (r)accompanied by Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, make remarks after their meeting at the start of the G8 Summit in Heiligendamm,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Germany Japan and the U.S. want the world's leading industrialized nations to put more pressure on North Korea to comply with an international agreement aimed at ending its nuclear weapons program. In Germany,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and U.S. President George Bush met to discuss the matter ahead of the start of the G8 summit.
Prime Minister Abe says North Korea is not complying with an international agreement to close its uranium enrichment facilities.
Mr,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. Abe said he wants G8 leaders to bring more pressure to bear on Pyongyang to meet its nuclear obligations and resolve the dispute over Japanese civilians abducted by North Korean agents.
"Unfortunately, the North Koreans have not done anything to implement the initial actions,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," said Mr. Abe. "And also on the issue of abduction,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], they have not taken any sincere actions to resolve that issue. So we agreed that the G8 leaders need to send a strong message to North Korea on these issues."
President Bush said G8 leaders have a common message that they expect North Korea to honor the nuclear agreement reached with the U.S., Russia,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], China,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Japan, and South Korea. The deal supplies fuel oil to North Korea in return for it shutting down its nuclear reactors and allowing international inspectors to verify the move.
North Korea says it will not close its reactors until it receives $25 million from a North Korean account in a Macau bank that was frozen in 2005 after Washington said the funds were tied to money laundering,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
The Bush administration says it unfroze those funds in March. But because the money is tainted by charges of money laundering,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], some reputable banks in China and America have refused to handle the funds,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], complicating the transfer to North Korea.
Russia's deputy foreign minister says his country will work to help resolve the issue if the U,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].S,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. ensures that sanctions will not be used against Russian banks in the future.

Australian peacekeepers board a Royal Australian Air Force plane to leave Dili airport as the UN has ended peacekeeping force in East Timor ,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
The Australian military has begun withdrawing the last of its peacekeeping troops from East Timor, ending a six-year mission that strained ties with neighboring Indonesia.
Australia on Monday marked the end of its peacekeeping mission in East Timor by handing over control of the Moleana military base to the East Timor government at a ceremony attended by military officials from both countries.
Australia sent troops to East Timor in 1999 after pro-Indonesian militias, many backed by the Indonesian military, laid waste to the tiny country after it voted overwhelmingly for independence from Jakarta in a U.N. sponsored vote.
More than a thousand people died in the violence, which ended only after the United Nations sent in peacekeeping forces led by Australia.
Nelson Santos, East Timor's secretary general of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], says his country would have liked the Australian troops to stay longer.
"They brought into this country peace and stability and confidence to the people,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," he said. "And the longer they stay, the longer we would have time to train our police force, to improve in some areas that we might be weak, which we are weak in some areas.
"They would have been giving us more time to improve," continued Mr. Santos. "However,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], we think that it's not a very dramatic thing that now the peacekeeping operations came to an end."
Mr,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. Santos points out the withdrawal of the Australian troops does not signal the end of the U.N. presence in the former Portuguese colony,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
"It's not the end of the U.N. We still have in Timor Leste a number of police advisors in the vicinity of 45,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and we also have a number of military advisors whom will be training our police force,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], our defense force, who will continue to improve in its capabilities,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," he added.
Australia's lead role in the U,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].N,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. mission caused a rift with Indonesia that has only recently begun to heal.
Relations between Canberra and Jakarta have improved following Australian help in the wake of the 2002 Bali bombings and last year's tsunami,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].

Cities and towns across Bangladesh have been hit by scores of small explosions,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. Leaflets from a banned Islamic group were found near some of the blasts that killed one person and injured at least 44,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
Police say the bombs exploded almost simultaneously near bus and train stations,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], courts and government buildings, and airports and markets in several cities including the capital Dhaka and the port city of Chittagong.
The junior minister for Home Affairs,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], M. Lutfuzzaman Babr,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], called it "an organized attack."
Leaflets found at some of the explosion sites carried a call by a banned Islamic group called Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen for Islamic rule in Bangladesh,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
Ataus Samad,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a writer and independent political analyst in Dhaka,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], says the bombings caused fear throughout the country.

Bangladesh has the world's third largest Muslim population. The Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen was banned in February along with another Islamic group after an earlier series of bombings against non-governmental groups,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], holy shrines and other targets.

In Baghdad, nearly a dozen car bombs exploded throughout the day Wednesday in and around the Iraqi capital, killing more than 150 people and wounding scores of others. The al-Qaida terrorist organization in Iraq has claimed responsibility for the well-coordinated attacks.
The first and the bloodiest attack of the day occurred early Wednesday morning in the mainly Shi'ite district of Kadhimiyah,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], north of Baghdad.
Witnesses say a man, posing as a potential employer, pulled up in a car near a large group of poor day laborers, assembled in a large square, hoping to be hired.
Thirty year-old Jassim Khazal say he was walking toward the square when he says he heard the stranger shout that he had some jobs to offer the men,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
Mr. Khazal says the prospect for work immediately caused a large crowd to form around the man's car. Mr. Khazal says the man got out of the vehicle and remotely detonated the explosives packed inside,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
Minutes later, ambulances snaked their way around body parts, smoking debris and burning cars to reach the dead and wounded. Local men arrived with wooden carts to help carry some of wounded to local hospitals.
Others simply broke down and began weeping, unable to deal with yet another mass tragedy,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which has struck the area in the past two weeks.
Wednesday's car bombing took place just 700 meters away from a Shi'ite shrine and near a bridge in Kadhimiyah,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], where the Iraqi government says hundreds of people died in a tragic accident on August 31.
The bombing in Kadhimiyah was followed, sometimes minutes apart, by 11 other car bombings in and around Baghdad,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], mostly targeting U.S. and Iraqi forces.
At least five suicide car bombers attacked American military convoys, wounding at least seven U.S. troops. Another suicide bomber, believed to be a Syrian, was killed by American soldiers after he unsuccessfully tried to ram his car into the side of an M-1 A-1 Abrams tank.
In the early afternoon,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a car bomb also exploded in Damascus Square, near the heavily-guarded International Zone in central Baghdad. The blast killed five civilians and wounded four others.
A statement posted on an Internet website shortly after the attack in Kadhimiyah suggested that the terrorist group al-Qaida in Iraq, led by Abu Musab al-Zarqawi,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], had planned and executed the bombings in retaliation for the Iraqi-U.S. military offensive in the northern city of Tal Afar.
The Shi'ite-led Iraqi government says the offensive, which began on Saturday,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], was launched to rid Tal Afar of Sunni militants and foreign fighters, who had been terrorizing local residents there in recent months.
Iraqi officials say since Saturday, many militants and foreign fighters have been killed in clashes. But they also acknowledge that many others probably fled Tal Afar and moved to other parts of Iraq before the offensive began.
Meanwhile,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], U.S. troops in the town of Taji,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], just north of Baghdad,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], say they have not been able to verify reports that gunmen, wearing Iraqi military uniforms, dragged 17 villagers out of their houses early Wednesday morning and executed them.
U.S. military officials say the report came to them in the form of an anonymous tip. But when troops went to investigate, they said they found no evidence of the alleged incident.

French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner, left, meets Sudanese Foreign Minister Lam Akol, right, for talks on Darfur Sudan has agreed to allow deployment of a joint United Nations-African Union peacekeeping force in its troubled Darfur region.
A statement issued in the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa, Tuesday says Sudan has accepted a revised plan for a hybrid AU-U.N. peace mission in Darfur. The agreement was announced at the end of two days of talks involving all three parties.
AU officials say the force would be made up of between 17,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],000 and 19,000 troops,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], with an additional 3,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],700 police officers.
In New York,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon hailed the agreement, in a statement read by spokeswoman Michele Montas.
"The secretary general welcomes today's positive conclusion of the high-level African Union-United Nations consultations with the government of Sudan on the hybrid operation and looks forward to expeditiously implementing the three-phase approach to peacekeeping in Darfur,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," she said.
The news from Addis Ababa raised immediate questions, and doubts among diplomats that the deal would hold up. One issue is the composition of the force.
U.N. peacekeeping officials see it as a mainly African force with an African commander, but under a broad United Nations command and control structure. But Sudan's president, Omar al-Bashir, has said he would insist that all the troops be African.
U,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].S,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said a condition like that would be a deal-breaker.
"To say that the force will be limited to only African troops is in effect to say that you are not agreeing to the full 17,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],000 to 19,000 troops,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which the experts believe is what you need to perform the mission," he said. "So it's a statement that on its face,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], would appear to accept everything. But in fact when you look at it, and examine it closely, it doesn't."
Several U.N. diplomats noted that Sudan's President al-Bashir has previously appeared to accept a blue-helmeted U.N. force when under pressure,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], only to back track later. They point out that the deal in Addis Ababa comes days before the Security Council is due to visit Khartoum to discuss deployment of the hybrid force.
Washington's U.N. Ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad says a number of Council ambassadors support increasing sanctions against Sudan unless it accepts the hybrid force arrangement.
"We have said if we don't get an unconditional acceptance of the AU-U.N. concept on the hybrid force, then several of us are of the view that we have to go with additional sanctions, tightening sanctions, to incentivize the government to cooperate," he said.
At the same time, Khalilzad said it is important to note that the violence in Darfur comes not only from the government and government-backed militias, but also from rebel forces. He said all sides have an obligation to comply with Security Council resolutions.
Darfur's civil war broke out in early 2003, when non-Arab rebels took up arms, charging the Sudanese government with ignoring their plight. Khartoum responded by arming Arab militias known as janjaweed to put down the uprising.
International experts say there have been more than 200,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],000 war-related deaths in Darfur since the fighting began. More than two million others have fled their homes to escape the violence.
Sudanese officials dispute those figures, saying only a few thousand people have died.

Casey,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], seemingly wanting to dampen expectations that the North will be taken off the list quickly,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], said that Pyongyang should answer questions about why it had been put on the list.

The six-nation agreement reached in Beijing on Feb. 13 requires the U.S. to start the process to remove the North from the terror list in the initial 60-day stage. The U.S. government must report to Congress 45 days before it removes a country from the list. A U.S. lawmaker said that the Bush administration could be flexible in implementing the Feb. 13 agreement,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but removing North Korea from the list might take considerable time.

Korea's first astronaut Yi So-yeon embarks on her important mission into outer space Tuesday. At 8 p.m. on April 8 (Korea Standard Time),[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a Russian Soyuz spacecraft carrying Yi will begin its final countdown at a launch site in Kazakhstan. Following a 50-hour flight into space, Yi will stay for 10 days at the International Space Station,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], orbiting the Earth at an altitude of 350 km,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], where she will conduct various scientific experiments.
With the launch,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Korea will become the world's 35th country to produce an astronaut. It's a bit late for a country boasting the world's 13th largest economy, but the significance of the event is huge nonetheless. Yi was chosen as the final candidate after a nationwide search. The entire 49 million population of South Korea has come together in heart and mind, watching the full process of Yi's selection to her ascent aboard the spacecraft. She carries with her the dreams and ardent wishes of her people toward space.
Choi Gi-hyuk,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the chief of the astronaut program at the Korea Aerospace Research Institute,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], said the hydrogen peroxide fuel booster, which was supposed to control the spacecraft's position after re-entry into the atmosphere, did not function. The spaceship plummeted to the ground at a much steeper angle than expected and landed a whopping 420 km to the west of the expected landing zone two minutes earlier than scheduled.
But Korea has not made an issue of the incident. A KARI astronaut program official merely said, "We agreed with Russia to make efforts to prevent negative news reports." A university professor of aviation and space critically said, "Such remarks are not the kind of statement expected from a customer who has paid a whopping W20 billion (US$1=W996). The country's astronaut program has turned into an ugly monstrosity, as our government was denied proper status in the bilateral contract as a result of its lack of negotiation ability."
In an interview in Moscow last Tuesday,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Yi said although the retro rocket engine operated,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], she felt "enormous gravity pull on my body because the spaceship was descending at a great speed. I thought this may be the way a human being dies."
Quoting an anonymous Russian official,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the Interfax news agency reported that during re-entry into the atmosphere,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the spaceship was flying upside down, forcing its heat sink panel to be placed at the back and its hatch to hit the atmosphere directly. This suggested that the astronauts' safety was in danger because the hatch could have melted.
Korea's poor diplomacy was also palpable at a press conference in Russia on the eve of the spacecraft's launch. No additional team of South Korean journalists was allowed to attend the press conference after Korea agreed to Russia's decision on that score because reporters from one Korean TV channel were already covering the conference.
And despite a bilateral agreement, the logos of Korean businesses were not attached to the spacesuits or the rocket. Although Korean firms paid more than W3 billion each,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], their logos were attached to a signboard in front of screen monitors at Mission Control Center.
Now there are even doubting voices about Ko's replacement by Yi after Ko was found to have taken instruction manuals home without permission. At the time, the Korean government stressed it alone decided to replace him while merely relaying to the Korean people what the Russian side alleged.

Casanovas have been objects of envy and loathing to all men. But Song Chang-min,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], who has just published a book entitled "The Art of Dating," calls himself a Casanova. It may be his job to advise others about it,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but he himself admits to being no good at real love -- though if that is true for "real" love, he certainly has the theory down pat.
The internet café "Kool Casanova" he operates has 130,000 members,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and here he has advised some 25,000 people on love and dating for the last five years and written some 3,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],000 articles on the subject.
"'Kool,' (not cool) in my café name stands for 'kiss only one lady.'" He says. "What I pursue is not love-as-play but perfect and pure love." However, that does not mean he has faithfully dated only one woman. With an enviable physique -- he is 180 cm tall and weighs 68 kg -- the handsome 28-year old boasts he has dated more than 100 women, and 20 of them wept begging for his love.
"One of the most common questions people ask me is how many women I have slept with,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," he says. "Men's sole interest today is in how fast and how many women they can sleep with. But from my experience,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it is more difficult to win a woman's heart than conquer her body."
The book therefore gives tips on how to win the hearts of women, using "case studies" to illustrate his point. One secret, he says,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], is preparation. "There are three types of people in any group -- detestable people, invisible people and likable people," he declares "To be able to date someone,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], you must become likable." And how do you do that? "When you find someone you want to go out with,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], ask for a date. On the day, give her a cheap mobile phone accessory when you meet, go to a movie and give her a book. Before going home, give her a hairpin from your bag. Later send a text message saying, 'What I really wanted to give you from my bag was my love,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], not a hairpin.'"
The rest,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], apparently, is math. The formula is "Love = Sincerity x (Technique + Courage) + Self-development." An acknowledgement, perhaps,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], that all the smarmy technique in the world will not work without sincerity. "I believe that beautiful love makes the world beautiful," he gushes. "Love, and treating your partner as if you are everything to each other in this desolate and selfish world, and you will feel that the world becomes warm again."
