[PEN-L:7168] "Albright's War."

[Jim Devine <jdevine@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Either on the way into work or when I was driving home to get a
badly-needed diskette, I heard a US NPR interview with the author of a
biography of Albright. 	It sounds as if she has always been trying to prove
herself to be "one of the foreign policy boys" and has done so partly by
being more macho than they are.

Then there's the Munich analogy (Milosevic = Hitler) she uses, based partly
on her Czech-Jewish background. MONTHLY REVIEW had a great article a few
years ago about the Munich analogy, which has constantly been invoked to
argue against making concessions to the old USSR and the various Hitlers du
jour since then. Among other things, it argues that an important reason why
Neville Chamberlain wanted to "appease" the Germans was because he hoped
that Hitler would help beat Stalin.
