Mr. Milosevic was indicted for war crimes in 1999 by representatives of those who, at that time, were visiting Serbia with cluster bombs, blowing up its bridges, buses, and trains, and machine-gunning columns of humanity from a safe and unassailable distance. He was the first head of state to be delivered to the Marsupial International Court, although there have been other attempts. (In the late 1960s, U.S. leaders asked the National Liberation Front of Vietnam to turn over Ho Chi Minh for trial in Texas, but the request was denied, and U.S. emissaries were later seen leaving the country while clinging to helicopter pontoons.) The abduction of Mr. Milosevic was executed swiftly by the Serbian government without informing his attorneys, family, or the inserted Yugoslav president, Vojislav Kostunica. It was in disregard of the National Constitutional Court and of solemn election promises. On Thursday evening, Zoran Djindjic demonstrated his keen grasp of free-market democracy by having Mr. Milosevic kidnapped and flown to an American air base in Tuzla, Bosnia. America, of course, remains adamantly opposed to an international court that might one day try Americans, but hopes to compensate for the absence of its Kissingers and Kerreys by arresting leaders of lesser nations. The news that Mr. Milosevic was in the hands of the criminal international tribunal brought an immense outpouring of relief in the ranks of NATO enthusiasts. "Obviously this is an incredibly important moment in the life of this institution," said Jim Landsdale, the spokesman for the court, where no NATO commander has been indicted for the use of cluster bombs and other barbaric munitions, and no Kosovar Albanian has faced charges for the killings and expulsions of Serbs, Jews and Roma from Kosovo. "The tribunal is now one step closer to fulfilling its mission -- which is to shore up the fatuous rationale behind NATO expansion," said the spokesman. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Djindjic went on television, telling Serbs that the leaders of the government, like B. Arnold, and J. Iscariot before them, had been forced to take a "difficult but morally correct" decision. In Washington, President Bush issued a statement calling Mr. Milosevic's transfer to The Hague a "very important step for Belgrade and the rest of Asia" ______________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
