Apologies
Readers will forgive the languorous pace of BC this past week, but successive deadlines, a day off for Easter, and the end of the war in Iraq have ganged up on me to slow my pace. I promise to return to full cruising speed after Greek Orthodox Easter this weekend and (non-American) Labor day on May 1, though I will dutifully post material in the interim.

For the moment, however, you might want to look at this piece I wrote for the Daily Star on the calamity of anti-Americanism in the Middle East. The passages on Edward Said might be familiar because of an earlier posting here.
