| Comment | : Re: Opium Wars Well timed. There is a history behind China's sensitivity to "Western interference". The Olympics will be interesting to watch in a number of arenas. |

| Comment | : Re: Slavery and Coal. The excerpt doesn't seem to explain how coal helped end slavery. How did coal replace a labor shortage? It is not as if coal could pick cotton. Were cotton gins fired by coal? |

| Comment | : The assertion that the Dayton Accord created peace without U.S. ground troops is utter nonsense. I was there as part of the peacekeeping force, and we still have troops there to this day...more than a decade later. The agreement owes its success to that fact that cuturally the Bosnians are much different than those in the middle east. Had that not been the case, the situation could have been much more dangerous for our troops. Despite the success of arriving at a cease-fire, the geographic partitioning of Bosnia created permanent refugees, and a standoff situation that has helped to keep the Bosnian ecomomy quite poor. |

| Comment | : I believe most of the Bosnian mess was instigated by Moslem radicals who were bent on killing as many non-Moslems as possible. Their reputation was well known over Europe and North Africa; they advertised! The reaction by the oppressed was an attempt to respond in kind. |
