#1 I suppose fencing them off and air-dropping weapons in isn't an option. Unfortunately.

#2 Are you referring to EUrope or the Balkans? Or both?

#3 Sounds rather like asserting that I have no exit strategy from my left leg. It's *part* of me, I don't exactly want to be shut of it.

For that matter, I'd argue that both Belgium and Liechtenstein are artificial constructs that are dependent on international organizations to function, Belgium possibly more than Liechtenstein.

#4 You know, I have talked with (supposedly educated) people who have been badly shocked to learn that we have troops in the Balkans. I suspect that they think I was lying for some purpose.

Of course I would also be willing to bet next month's mortgage money that they could not find the Balkans on a map.
