[PEN-L:4632] SALON on Moral Blindness of Serb liberals

This is an interesting article by SALON, with a bit of ammunition for both sides of the bombing debate, but it does make clear that even the most liberal of Serbs have ultimately been apologists for Serbia's atrocities.-- NN Outlaw nation? Even Serbs who hate Milosevic are outraged at the NATO

[PEN-L:4629] War 'Public Relations,' or, 'Kuwaiti Babies Torn fromIncubators'

The break-up of Yugoslavia and the subsequent civil war are in part the results of one of the most successful cases of propaganda in service of creating the New Enemy. Americans are not to remember that there are people in Serbia and Iraq besides Slobodan Milosevic Saddam Husein. Never mind, all
