I'm sorry to see Milosevich go. I don't think that he was a good
socialist or good leader, but I'm not sure that neoliberalism will do
the Serbian people any better.
I suspect that he would have won reelection without the opposition of
United States, both in terms of bombing the country and in terms of
spreading huge amounts of money around, as well as the sanctions. From
what I understand, the new president has stood for many of his
predecessor's policies in the past, although I suspect he will turn out
to be a good neoliberal.
I do foresee one problem looming for the United States. First we lost
the Soviet Union, then Eastern Europe. North Korea seems to be coming
to some sort of agreement with the past. Iran seems to be coming closer
to the West. All we have is Iraq and Libya. Does this mean that we
will be demonizing Chavez soon? Or will the drug war turn into a real
war in Columbia? Can Star Wars really spot packets of drugs entering
the country?
