Entry: Mr. bin Laden, Meet Mr. Kennan--A New Containment Policy Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/mr_bin_laden_meet_mr_kennan_a_new_containment_policy#19555 Post contents: Yes, I know, Mr. Richert, that you write for that magazine. And, not surprisingly, you refer to the Kosovo issue here. So here you just happen to be writing on Serbia. You, here, brought up how Kosovo "has been baptized in the blood of European Christians and sealed with the ashes of Orthodox churches and monasteries." So you are talking about the Serbs, here, and I can only imagine that you are referring, at least in part, to the First Battle of Kosovo. And I wrote about the interpretation of Balkan history promoted, both here by you and also in Chronicles by others, and why it is susceptible to criticism. I also stated that this particular historical interpretation is used, here and in Chronicles to promote particular anti-jihadist policies in the Balkans. But, in fact, anti-jihadism can be pursued without necessarily subscribing to particular views of the Serbs' purported role as the premier gatekeepers of Europe. Sent at: 2008 09 07
