...Bush doesn't say that kind of thing at home. He is famous for not admitting mistakes. Suggesting that he might actually bear equal responsibility for the frayed relations he was now trying to mend signaled to Europeans that the "Cowboy in Chief" might be ready to holster his guns. Certainly that was the message Bush spent the week trying to send. Usually he rushes through the diplomatic sessions and endless pomp of foreign visits. He is a man of action. He doesn't trust a lot of talk. That's one of the reasons he gets irritated by French...
...marshal was once a soldier or a cop, so most ease right into the male-dominated, boot-camp atmosphere. Even a sedentary office worker like me felt a little bolder when I put on the trainee uniform (gray T shirt, black cargo pants, black boots), strapped my leather holster to my side and listened to the first instructor tell the class, "You've got to have a winning mentality.

...describes as "military pop idols." While defending the city they confiscate storehouses, evict Muslims from their homes, conscript citizens by gunpoint and are eventually implicated in massacres and "ethnic cleansing." Neven adds his own story to these, like the time he shot an enemy through his gun holster while falling backwards. Or did he? Sacco parallels his increasing doubts about the authenticity of Neven's tales while getting deeper into the warlord's atrocities. By the end, "The Fixer" becomes as much about the haziness and relative importance of the truth as about the history of the Sarajevo siege...
