I give them credit for running some pretty mean brothels. IN the Balkans, that's all they've ever done of consequence. Oh, and they did watch the massacre as Srebrenica, too.

Yeah, lots of credit to the UN.

It's a shame you can't give the UN any credit.

I'll take my expressions of thanks wherever I can get them, whether they are spoken aloud or merely implied by a study that proves that my country did some measurable good that even the UN has to acknowledge.

"You’re welcome."

Who's welcome? The AP?

I didn't know you did the Associated Press a favour. I sure hope you weren't thinking of the UN, either.

Maybe you want to write an open letter to the people of Serbia that you'd like to hear some thanks.

You said it all right there, Jimmie. This is by far the best article I've read all week.

But Iraq is not the Balkans.

Historically the Balkans is a politically stable and calm place with no religious or ethnic prob… oh, wait, never mind.
