Now at the very least there are several forms of "imperialist aggression"
going on here.

I think that NATO's campaign is a bad mistake--that it will kill a lot of
people who have never shot an Albanian, and it completely loses sight of
the principal task of NATO: to keep the Russians happy and confident that
the Germans won't attack them in a generation (and to keep the Poles, etc.,
confident and happy that the Russians won't attack them in a generation).

But I share Max's (and Nathan's) exasperation and frustration at the moral
(and practical) idiocy of those who look at the Serbian government and see
nothing but a victim of imperialist aggression.

Life gets really boring really quickly if you read only those things with
which you agree...
