Louis, I think this is grossly unfair to Barkely. As you know, he and I don't agree on a number of issues but I think your portrayal of Barkely is uncalled for and off the mark. He has a profound knowledge of the Balkans to which I can attest. His interpretation of recent events both of us may question, but that is a different question. I have never understood his fixation with Milosevic and I have made that clear here many times. But he is right. The real issue now is to prevent a ground invasion which will produce a human tragedy on all fronts and most particularly for women and children. The ghastly bombing of the maternity hospital yesterday should make that readily apparent. It is obvious that Blair and Clinton don't care who they kill as long as they triumph. This is the real 'war crime'.
