What about our cerebral traumas induced by nonsense like this? One list-member nagged Nathan about enlisting. It would be just as ridiculous to demand that all the pacifists to sit on bridges in Belgrade or wrap bandages in their hospitals. And the revolutionaries should join the Serbian anti-imperialist battalions in Kosovo, as they battle CIA-sponsored KLA terrorists. Or they could join the Serbian police as they liberate Muslim women from the oppression of the patriarchal, Islamic society. Sheesh.
