There was plenty of political content to the remarks that Leo and Tim
characterize as "personal." Were I more touchy and self-righteous than I
am, I would now take great umbrage at this oversight, but I'm not, so I
won't.

My "position" on Bosnia is this: it is an awful tragedy, a terrible
carnage, but I don't really see what the outside world can do about it. The
world is full of horrid tragedies about which much less ink has been
spilled and fewer electrons sent dancing. One example that comes quickly to
mind is Africa, a continent that is experiencing many many tragedies that
make the war in Bosnia look like a civil disturbance. What can we do about
those?
