There is a third way as pointed out by Roger Cohen in a NYT op ed. I dont believe for a minute you would apply your new rule to Darfur, much less Ireland back in the day. And if it did, you would still be wrong. You dont have to be nadine or bush or cheney to want a good outcome in kosovo regardless of the fact that our interests may tell us to go with the serbs and russians on this one. You are right about the republicans wanting no part of balkans. Our good fortune in kosovo under clinton might have given the neocons the belief they could do the same against saddam as milosevec. Two guys were so similar in may ways. And then 9/11 comes along. Balance yes, realism yes but pure cynicism in FP, no way.

bobdylanroots.com Interesting, the derivation of dylans mssters of war is Nottamun town. Heard it by chance on the radio on the XM folk station. Actually the words of the song are more like dylan than the angry lyrics of masters of war. "The song was likely a product of the early mummers' plays, in which local actors would blacken their faces and turn their clothing inside out to escape recognition. Bob Dylan was not only influenced by the song's jumble of mixed-up, fantastical lyrics... but also melodically, as he borrowed the tune for "Masters of War". "
