Yugo has a system like Israel. Nobody knows who will be president, but the parliament is key 2) It is amazing that with the mixture of threats and bribes the Yugoslavs have not handed opver Milosevic's head on a plate. The fact that the majority has voted for SP-JUL parliamentary candidates FOR THE FIRST TIME is a wonderful statement for the rest of the world. Maybe it doesn't impress some of us, but it sure means something to the wretched of the earth., 3) Tony's remarks about antiar.com and so on miss the poitn entirely. In fact, Raimondo and Fleming have extremely little support - hence their hysteria. Whatever happens with antiwar.com (i.e., if they succeed in destroying it since their blame-the-victim style of anti-interventionism has virutally NO support - if theuy succeed in destroying antiwar.com another internet expression of the broad coalition antiwar.com has represented will come forard. Count on it. Aabdo simply does not understand mass work: the sectarian mentality. The point isn't to incesently label people so that you are "working with libertarians and rightists" the poiint is to work with people on issues of agreement and of course one has the right to try to change their minds. Some wonderful people work on antiwar.com, plus there are destructive types like Justin Raimondo - it takes all kinds. Interestingly, Justin's position is not all that different from Chomsky's which is not all that different from Albright's - because in the end, there are only two sides, even if neither is a "perfect statement" statment (cause this is a MMATERIAL world, not Platonic. The Response from antiwar.com readers to Justin and Fleming's not very intelligent attacks is very strongly to defend Szamuely, me, Petar Makara and others who have raised the key point: that the US has once again attempted to interfere in another nation's internal life. It is remarkable to see how quickly some people (e.,g. Riamondo, Fleming, CHomsky) can slide into semi-support for US intervention.
