Nice photo.

The last thing I wrote on the Balkans, about two years ago now, 
was a review of Chomsky's book on the West's Balkan policy, for 
The Nation magazine (you can still, I believe, find that review on 
their web site). In short, I concluded that the problem is that policy 
makers were evil. It's not a question of good people having honest 
differences of view about what's best for the American national 
interest. It's just about evil people doing evil things. After having 
written that -- and I still believe it -- it's hard to think what else to say 
that serves any useful purpose.
