Only had the time to read a couple of the entries on the thread, Seed, but I swear, I think that, in spite of the end of the cold war and the so-called "peace dividend", I think the world--particularly Central Europe--is every bit as unsettled, and unsettling, as it was in those days when the Old World truly lost its innocence and the older established order came crashing down in the echoes of the gunfire at Sarejevo. It's not that I'm particularly ripped that NATO is doing what it's doing--the REAL truth to these affairs rarely comes to light in its own generation--but rather that it seems to me that there are Milosevics and Saddams and, God knows who else, all over the place. So we had Iraq, now there's Serbia. Where next?
