Precautions in a war? There was a kind of disjunction in this approach that was nervous making. With the meanest of faces--in the person of special envoy Richard Holbrooke--NATO was telling Milosevic that a failure to comply with alliance wishes meant it would hit him with everything. And there, in the next breath, were NATO commanders confessing to all the world on CNN that everything really meant almost everything. If the U.S. Senate and the American people felt uneasy about Kosovo, it wasn't simply unfamiliarity; the Administration's confusion of ends and means was worrisome as well...

It was managing the "teacup wars" of the world, "wars of national debilitation, a steady run of uncivil civil wars sundering fragile but functioning nation-states...
...therefore I find it odd that your review focused instead on my physical features. Your piece reflects the level of discomfort that many whites and some blacks feel when they discover that well-educated and well-to-do blacks have existed in the U.S. since the late 1800s. Your approach to black history (cover stories on hip-hop ghetto culture and attacks on me) perpetuates the notion that black people are nothing more than 1970s TV-sitcom stereotypes.
