> MILOSEVIC AND CLINTON
>
> Bill Clinton has continuously overcome obstacles by engaging in a
> two-way conversation with the American people. He listens. He is
> always reaching out to his constituency, asking them how things
> are going, what they think about this and that? Bill Clinton
> doesn't 'rule'. He manages by consensus. And no matter how great
> his personal failings may be, the American people respond to him

What about all the executive orders? He doesn't even listen to Congress much
less the American people.
> Slobodan Milosevic rules with an iron fist. Unfortunately for him,
> iron fist thinking belongs back in the Iron Age. He is a dictator,
> pursuing xenophobic nationalist policies, and his cruelty is only
> matched by his untrustworthiness.
>
What about Waco? That sure looked like an iron fist. And how many bombs did
Clinton drop on Yugoslavia (or Sudan)? Clinton trustworthy?

You get and keep power by spreading disinformation and getting away with it.
Clinton is an expert.
> Milosevic is rarely seen in public. He hardly ever talks to his
> people, let alone listens to them. Serbia has little hope of

Milosevic was interviewed in English on American TV. Milosevic's wife has
her own tv show. Has he never been on it? I doubt that.
> The consumer in the Information Society takes it for granted that

> In fact, the information game has moved on to a whole other
> level. The free flow of information has for many become a flood.
> Providing a quality flow of information merely gets you into the

> really valuable is a consumer's time. A key challenge is thus
> getting the consumer to spend time digesting your information.

> Understanding a consumer and developing a relationship with

> You get to know what their specific information needs are,
> thus allowing you to customise your information (and product)
> to their needs.

And, if you do a good job at the above you can really brainwash them.
> Whatever you might personally think of Bill Clinton, he is
> unquestionably a pioneer of the Information Age. He knows that
> you succeed today by communicating, listening and creating
> consensus. (19 NATO countries staying unified was no small
> achievement.) I, for one, infinitely prefer a world managed by
> Bill Clinton than one ruled by the likes of Slobodan Milosevic.

What natural resources does Kosovo have? How is the KLA financed?
If you don't know the answers to these questions and think that you
understand the situation, you have been successfully propagandized.
