just to balance it (and to include an opinion column more in line with my view of things), Misreading Power by William Raspberry mentions the unilateralism that has gotten us to this point in history. I'm sick of hearing people talk about the war being over in a few days, or week, or even years. Once it starts, this new type of warfare will NEVER be over. And while I don't completely agree with the Russian/French position, at least they're willing to talk about that reality.
