Who Is Guilty? Milosevic or NATO? by Stan Goff Monday July 30, 2001 at 05:02 PM |
What do you call someone who pays officials to break the law, threatens people with violence if they don't do what he demands, spreads outrageous lies to impugn people's reputations, and participates in a plot to illegally take an unwilling person out of the country in captivity?
Guilty of bribery, extortion, slander and kidnapping.
What do you call a government which does precisely those things?
The United States in Yugoslavia.
Let's get something straight here. The International Tribunal at the Hague is no more an impartial judiciary (1) than Geraldo Rivera is a neurosurgeon, and Slobodan Milosevic is no war criminal. These are just simply facts, and the thing that--even at 50--still amazes my ass is the sheep-like, gullible, we-just-fell-off-the-turnip-truck acceptance of the capitalist media's horse-manure by comfortable fellow Americans.
