More Media Hypocrisy

The news reports the death of Slobodan Milosevic in his jail cell. The New Youk Times blames him for "orchestrating the break-up of Yugolsavia" but the reality is that President Clinton should get the credit for that. Even after, under much pressure, Milosevic attempted to negotiate points in the Rambouillet accords, Clinton withdrew the option and chose instead to bomb a defenseless country targeting urban areas. Though "defense of the Kosovar Albanians" was the excuse, many had already fled Kosovo and moved to Belgrade, where they were welcomed, only to be bombed by us. Our liberation of Kosovo made drugs and sex-slavery the primary industries in the region.

While Milosevic was no saint, neither was he the demon our press made him out to be. The only positive aspect of his death is that it leaves an empty cell that Clinton, Cheney, or Bush could be moved to as they await trial for crimes against humanity.
