The hypocrisy of US foreign policy requires no comment, although no dount
it demands outrage. But no one outside his thuggish clique could mourn the
defeat of Milosovic. --jks

This accusation of "thuggish" reflects imperialist propaganda. Given the
pressures on it, the Milosevic government has been one of the mildest in
recent history. It is no more repressive than the FSLN in Nicaragua which
was always being stigmatized for its "thuggish" behavior toward the
Catholic Church and La Prensa. The stakes are identical, even though
pwogressive opinion in the USA and Great Britain tends to march in step
with the State Department in this more recent demonization campaign. The
crusade against Yugoslavia is motivated by a need to destroy one of the few
exceptions to "neoliberalism" in Eastern Europe. With the need to create
maquilas all through the zone, state owned industry was an incovenience as
was an army not under the control of NATO.
