Hi, everyone!

Here we go again...more writings from the banks of the mighty Urinals.

A friend of mine, Joe Haydon, forwarded an interesting article to me yesterday. It is an analysis of how the current Kosovo crisis is supposedly going to reshape the geo-political landscape and shift the balance of world power somewhat.

You can read it at http://www.stratfor.com/kosovo/crisis/

Although the article was presented well and raised several interesting points, it still seemed to have been slightly propagandized. A lot of the European shying away from NATO that it describes has been taking place over the last several years and is not, as the article seemingly points out, a direct result of the current and recent situations involving the use of NATO forces.

I just don't get the same gloom and doom feeling that this article seems to convey. But, you read it and judge for yourself.

As for the current crisis...well working where I do, I am often asked...well, sometimes...well, my little brother asked me once what I think of all this.

My thought is this:

Slobodan Milosovic is a name that can only sound cool if said by Sean Connery.

Think about it. I'm right, aren't I?

Have a great day!

Mike
