Some good reading today:

Belmont Club, of course. Just keep on reading down. I found particularly interesting the post on the the UN's hand in peacekeeping in the Congo, and that on the LA Times article attempting a bit of historical revision.

Ann Althouse to an article in the travel section of the NYTimes on Libya. I'm really looking forward to the day when free travel to the desert is possible. I wouldn't even mind the attentions of the 'desert swains,' either, for that matter. From what's being mentioned, it sounds milder than anything I've experienced in reputedly more civilized lands. But then again, I've had some odd experiences, and maybe, just maybe I'm a bit prejudiced.
