Dr. Frank's What's-it

Imperia are hard to do

Imperia are hard to do

Stephen Chapman has this comment on the latest from Paddy Ashdown's Bosnia:

Europeans are as willing to take over other people's countries and run them as protectorates as any Rumsfeld... I'll wager that the EU's very own Man With The Feathery Viceroy's Hat in Bosnia-Herzegovina will be there a lot longer than Tommy Franks in Iraq. But it's OK, because Ashdown's a Liberal Democrat and the Bosnians are mostly white people. Plus the Bosnians are not the "proud people" of an "ancient land" the way the Iraqis are.
