History is a frugal fellow.
And only rarely, once in the fleetingest of blue moons, it relaxes its fingers and lets a chance to douse the flames of tyranny drop into the lap of good and decent folk. With its courageous bombing of Serbia, NATO has, through sheer force of will, managed to pry loose a space between those great fingers. A chance is dropping into the laps of America and her faithful allies. It is a move that is long overdue. For too long, Russians have been greedily occupying space that could be put to more enlightened and appropriate use by Americans and some Western Europeans.
