There is no ethnic strife going on in Kosovo. There is no ethnic cleansing going on in Kosovo. Or maybe not. It has begun to trickle into the mainstream press that all might not be well at the scene of recent triumph. These are things that are true for a season and then go off into the Orwellian memory hole before anyone has a chance to question them.
Most people are too polite, anyway.
A layman would get the idea that certain peoples in southeastern Europe have never gotten along. While a professional Balkanographer might make some sense of it, even he can't have had an easy time of it. All of this was literally academic before the imperial social workers, mad bombers, youthful optimists, and telescopic philanthropists in Washington and at NATO HQ got into the act. I'm sure it mattered a lot to some people in places like Cincinnati, whose ancestors came from that part of the world, but emotional involvement in Old World controversies may not be the soundest basis for an American foreign policy. I don't, myself, actually avoid mirrors.
