This was an odd thing to read, but it got me to thinking how well my opinion pieces for my college newspaper would hold up almost ten years later. For the most part, my post-Kosovo non-interventionism was already there, and I think I made pretty good arguments against drug war meddling in Colombia, so many of the themes in my writing were already taking shape, but there were some columns that I did in the wake of the 2000 recount that would probably make me want to beat my head against the wall. There was also my last op-ed written for the paper in the weeks following 9/11 that was simply horribly stupid in its naivete and optimism, and I would like to be able to take back large parts of it.
