En relación a THE 'TIMES' SPREADS A DEADLY LIE, el 2 Apr 01, a las 3:48, [EMAIL PROTECTED] dijo (en la lista marxism): > This DOS-created 'emergency' was in fact defused by Miloshevich. Even while > Miloshevich was negotiating with DOS, DOS was, according to news reports, > preparing to attack the compound and telling the press he would never > surrender. But he did surrender, and voluntarily, "to end the standoff." It > was they who tried to provoke civil war, and he who avoided it. I've had the honor of being invited by the SPS to the same conference Jared was, and I had the pleasure of meeting him (and many others from the world over, included the Cuban ambassador who came to bring support to the conference) in Belgrade. I have also had the opportunity to gauge the enormous deal of pressure and hatred that is put on every Yugoslav citizen, and the fear and class contempt of the Belgrade petty bourgeoisie against Milosevic and his followers. I have also had a meeting with Milosevic, together with some five or six people. My general impression not only agrees with that of Jared's, I also saw him as a very smart and cunning guy, who took politics with some merry commitment to life and struggle, the kind of commitment I personally like in politicians. This is not a guy who would commit suicide, indeed. By the way, and since his attempted arrest (or murder) was _obviously_ a delivery-on-demand, and this demand had a clear deadline, I would like to make sure of whether Milosevic decided to "surrender" on March 31st or on April 1st. If the second, then even during this most tense moment he managed to make a ludicrous remark out of his "captors", namely that it was _he_ who set the date. >From the point of view of the reconstruction of the awareness of the oppressed classes in Serbia, things like the above are far from details. But I am not sure, because the press here in Argentina is lying from the first page to the last one. The climate in the "International news" sections resembles that which pervaded Argentinean press in the immediate aftermath of the 1955 coup that overthrew Perón. And it is not a matter of chance.
