What about the KLA's transformation, on the UN's watch, of putatively independent Kosovo into a Mafia fiefdom?<BR/><BR/>When is anyone going to challenge Clare Short and Private Eye about their new-found opposition to the neocon-Wahhabi alliance after they cheered it on at the tops of their voices in Yugoslavia?<BR/><BR/>And why does anyone still employ Stephen Pollard, Oliver Kamm, Johann Hari, David Aaronovitch, or any of the rest of them?David Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06839882674758833524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17766817.post-85164587724220358472007-02-27T14:55:00.000+00:002007-02-27T14:55:00.000+00:00It's interesting, isn't it Neil?

I suspect it would have been the opposite if the judgment had gone the other way. This is a real blow for the the professional anti-Serb establishment especially since the judgment effectively exonerates Milosevic from genocide. <BR/><BR/>Imagine the dissapointment after all that time and effort invested in the <BR/>Evil Serb image. <BR/><BR/>Milosevic "cheats" justice again! How about that!Njegoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12894130727203767071noreply@blogger.com
