Let's hear from John. I can defend Clarke's political campaign too. Totally inexperienced, he did fine in debates and charmed audiences and won delegates. But calling his campaign a failure is no outrage, just a difference of opinion. To diss the fantastically successful Balkans Intervention as anything other than a wondrous model for pax americana intervention in the 21st century shows nothing but ignorance. _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
