A recent Op-Ed in New York Times seems to have caused a fair amount of consternation in both Romania as well as among my diaspora friends. Ion could equally be Ion Iliescu, recently green-lighted to be re-investigated in the “Mineriada” file, Adrian Nastase, the suicidal former premier and failed presidential candidate who had become the first test case of prosecutorial overreach in the case of an elite aparatchik, or even Patrick Basham, not afraid to confront the warm, fuzzy racism/scepticism/antiziganism-fuelled consensus that Romania is “doing something”.

AlphaDog are unul dintre cele mai originale si mai bine scrise bloguri din blogo.ro-oaie. Pe blogul sau insa se abtine de la politica, urmand probabil indemnul lui Plesu (vezi surse).

Ma bucur sa prezint un alt punct de vedere, fie ca seamana cu-al meu, fie ca nu.
