It was always a treat to receive an email from him; he always had wise comments and advice. I shall truly miss him.
I am very sorry to learn of the death of Andras Riedlmayer, with whom I corresponded for over twenty years. A great fighter against genocide, its perpetrators and its deniers; a true expert who did as much as anyone to catalogue the cultural destruction caused by the genocide in Bosnia.

Keir Starmer is a mediocre prime minister: an unprincipled, vacillating, authoritarian control-freak and apparatchik. He deserves some credit for not being as utterly subservient to Trump's US as he might be - over Ukraine, Greenland, Palestinian statehood. But...

Trump sycophant Mark Rutte is wholly unfit to be NATO secretary-general. Time to remove him. Democratic Europe, with its wealth, population and technology, is more than capable of defending itself, if the will is there.
