Kosovo, now a part of Serbia, may soon receive U.N. recognition as an independent state. How would Serbia react? Serbia offers the widest imaginable degree of autonomy to Kosovo within Serbia. International law is clearly on our side, and we are certain that Kosovo's independence would increase regional instability. It's time to leave the Balkan logic of fragmentation and move toward the European logic of integration...

...there is little Washington could do. The U.S. depends on Venezuela as its fourth largest foreign-crude supplier, which all but precludes swinging the trade embargo stick Washington has used against Castro for 45 years. Political isolation is a weak bet, too. In a region with the world's widest gap between rich and poor, Chavez's gospel of Latin American self-determination has spawned a resurgent left and unusually coordinated anti-Yanqui sentiment, evidenced by the region's rejection of President Bush's hemispheric free-trade proposal.

...Morales' hope is that Bolivia's new charter will serve as a model for the ascendant new left in Latin America, a chance to "redefine the rules of the game" in a region where the gap between rich and poor is the widest in the world. But the July 2 vote was also a reminder that even Morales' revolution is subject to checks and balances - and that changing the rules will require the age-old game of political horse trading...
