ARTICLE: "Four Nations Face Barriers as They Seek Bids to Join NATO," by Nicholas Wood, New York Times, 19 July 2006, p. A11.

Pretty basic story, with nice front-on shot (remember mine from the side?) of all the PMs lined up in Dubrovnik. It's "enlargement fatigue" seguing into a wimpy "absorption" excuse from both NATO and the EU.

The Americans are acccused, quite naturally, of pushing the enlargement issue for the sake of their own agenda.


Damn straight. We'd like to not have to go back to the Balkans for genocide-cessation duty.
