I really want to reply to this with some kind of wisdom, but when I tried I
just realized that I don't have any answers.

This morning's news (Yugo says we killed 60 refugees) mixes in my mind with
something I heard Clinton say the other day on NPR-- he stumbled over the
"why Kosovo and not Rwanda, Kenya, etc." question, essentially committing
himself to both sides.

No greater thing can a man do than lay down his life for another man.  Is
this what we're doing?  Why or why not?

A little disheartened,
