empty gravesite

[Carrol Cox]

"What might have beens" cannot be demonstrated, but it is a reasonable
assumption that without western interference Yugoslavia might have
stayed unified. (Much so-called "tribal war" in Africa was also
generated by imperialism.) Certainly Jared has accumulated more
than enough material to establish as a reasonable hypothesis that
Serbian actions in Kosovo were (at worst) no worse than the
U.S. south in the pre-civil rights era. In any case, if  someone wants
to justify individualist hand-wringing thorugh appeal to complexity
and ambiguity ought to have more than the wording of one
press account to support him/herself. And "tribalism" is
an expression only found in racist literature.
