...would appear to be about unhealed wounds between the north and the south, it is really but another chapter in our society's sordid experience of racial relations. Alas, many will come to the conclusion that to commemorate the 64 southern dead Harvard graduates is to disconfirm the valid presence of African-Americans at Harvard. Symbols have consequences. As race is America's" original sin," we will never be able to regard the "race problem" as "solved;" and even here in a community the celebrates rationality, civility and diversity, it is only a thin veneer of these admirable qualities that...
...TIME, wrote that in an age when people were bombarded by information--not unlike the digital age we are entering--they were, ironically, becoming less informed. This magazine was created to provide synthesis and analysis that cut through the clutter and save readers time. That service remains just as valid, and that mission just as clear, today...

The claim of the title of your article is about as valid as a claim that a cheeseburger is actually good for you because of the ketchup...
...almost impossible to differentiate between intentional and unintentional postings on the dynamic medium that is the Internet, punishing deliberate posters is a dubious matter.

It's pernicious that...
This is a valid comparison. Much like Vietnam, Bosnia is a land foreign to American soldiers. It presents an unfamiliar terrain and adds to it a people with unfamiliar language and cultural traditions. The origin of the Bosnian conflict is largely alien to the average American GI, and the rationale behind American intervention is further hidden in ambiguity. In as much as Vietnam became the manifestation of George Kennan's containment doctrine, so has Bosnia become the symbol of America's ambivalent role as the global superpower. If not with Vietnam, then similar comparisons are provided by the military disaster...
