Which is not to say nothing is happening, incidentally I know that I have at least one regular reader in Slough.
Such happenings are fodder for websites like this:

Who says the Blogosphere is 'Liberal'?, it's as mixed a bag as anything else...

NPR has had reportage of Kosovo today and will have more tomorrow.
Update of sorts: I was looking at NPR's site, to check out some stuff about Andrew Basevich,he is a conseruvative critic of the war in Iraq, and he has some useful points to make. He's not one of those rabid 'the Muslims are out to get the West' guys, he's got a very common sense take, which comes from a sound military background.
I think what he has to say is worth checking out.

Incidentally he's not saying anything I didn't tell all my friends years ago before entering the Blogosphere.
