Dave,
I agree. When Kosta was doing some research, he came upon an article I
found really interesting, in date of Aug. 10th, 1991, I believe. It's a G&M
thing taken off the wires AP/Reuter/CP.
The final paragraph is:
"Also yesterday, Serbia's parliament annulled international agreements that
forgave Second World War reparations, and demanded $96-billion in
reparations from Germany, Bulgaria, and Hungary."
...thus making it really clear who was going to do hard time in a New World
Order slammer, if the New World Order got its way.
History WILL absolve him.
