Kudos to Mr. Paul Craig Roberts and your paper for seeing and publishing the facts as they are about the "trial" of the former Serbian president Slobodan Milosevic at the UN "war crimes tribunal." Apart from hypocrisy, the West has so far displayed an astonishing disrespect for everything they supposedly stand for. Above all - for the concept of law. The question is why is the civilized world supporting the Hague tribunal when it does not recognize even the common rules of procedure. In this politically motivated "court" things like sheer "hear-says" are admitted as hard evidence and the right of accused to face his accuser is denied. We did not do that even in the Nuremberg "victor's court"! Where are all the men of law and justice? Where is the outrage? Nowhere! The reason for it is very clear. "There is something rotten in the land" of America. And it starts from the top. From the President. The former President Clinton replaced his failed diplomacy by bombing a sovereign country. Our current president, while continuing the same misguided policy towards Serbs, does it in a "humble way." Just as he promised in his election campaign. Mr. Bush is replacing his non-existent foreign policy with blackmail and extortion, e.g. exerting "pressure". Only, when he and his European allies succeeded in this less than noble action - they decided not honor the deal. The Serbian government has just been told that out of the $256 million reward (due to be paid in August) for kidnapping and delivering Mr. Milosevic to Hague, the $192.3 million will be paid towards Serbia's current debt. The remaining $64.3 million "aid" will be given to Serbia in October. "Too little and too late", says the Serbian prime minister Mr. Djindjic who believes that this will topple his government. So it should! There is a price to pay for doing dirty business with evil partners. Especially when one is selling the country's sovereignty and the nation's dignity - on top of all - for cheap. This lesson will not go unnoticed by the rest of the world or by all decent Americans. I will remember it and know who NOT to vote for the next time we have presidential elections.
