My daughter surprised me with a sites of questions last night: Whats ethnic cleansing? A sanitized way to say genocide... Where are the Balkans? Roughly the countries between the Aegean sea and the black sea... Whats happening with Russia and the Ukraine in Crimea? That one was more complicated, requiring a synopsis of Ukrainian history back to WWII, Russian longing for the USSR, energy politics, etc. She was having a conversation with one of her middle school friends, and needed background info. Made me proud that she wanted to know, glad that she and her friends are concerned about these issues, yet sad at the state of the works her generation is reducing from ours.
