If you guys are looking for something new to add to your feed reader or start page, take a second and check out Michael Totten. The guy is simply amazing. He pays his way through some of the dangerous portions of the world (he's spent ample time in Iraq and Afghanistan and just made it into Georgia) and writes beautifully about it in a way few others are.
I especially enjoyed his recent article on Kosovar Muslims:
American flags are on sale at kiosks everywhere. They fly in front of government buildings. The world's second largest replica of the Statue of Liberty sits atop the five star Hotel Victory. The largest street downtown was renamed Bill Clinton Boulevard. Many businesses are likewise named after Clinton. One cafe owner called his establishment “Hillary” and placed two gigantic pictures of Bill and Hillary on the walls.
