If I recall correctly Arkan wrote a letter of support to former President Bill Clinton after the bombings of the US Embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, expressing his condolances and giving warnings about Islamic Extremism across the Globe. However, Clinton ignored the letter for obvious reasons, I suppose.
And yeah....I have the book How Soccer Explains the World and it looks like quite a good read. It was suggested to me by a friend who never really showed an interest in following the sport, except for actually playing it, and if the book can keep him entertained...that's promising news. The only problem is I really do not have time to read it. Damnit.
