Memorial Day column

Here's a Memorial Day OpEd piece I wrote for The Boston Globe. UPDATE (5/30): The piece was picked up by the International Herald Tribune on Tuesday. And we were even able to find a few copies, after unsuccessfully scrounging around various newsstands and bookstores in the center. We found a few leftover copies in a waiting area at the swanky Hotel Metropole by the Kremlin. The piece seems to be getting around the Internets too. Here it is in Russian. And in Czech.
