None of the issues you raise are relevant to the counts of Milosevic's indictment.

Sorry, but it's as simple as that.

I disagree. For history and to satisfy the perennial concerns of the Left, the accused (a monstrous SOB to be sure) should be allowed to question his accusers, question the War (deemed illegal by NATO's Supreme Allied Commander) and to ask the all-time favorite question of the Left, "Did the end justify the means?"

Also, Milosevic might want to discuss the brutality on both sides, that continues to this day. Was it, like the Left loves to say, a War with no good guys? By allying ourselves with the Muslims of the Balkans and other ethnic minorities, did we choose the lesser of two evils? Where is the rhyme of Jesse Jackson, shouldn't he have a little ditty about the lesser of two evils is still evil? Isn't is like the Iran/Iraq War? Wasn't Osama a partisan of the Muslims of the Balkans? Which KLA rebel will soon oppose America? Did we play Dr. Frankenstein again? Blowback?

Where is the Left? Why isn't American foreign policy on trial? Where are the shades of gray? Since when is a "technically illegal" War waged without UN approval not relevant in a War Crimes trial?

Are you aware that the Left despises our intervention in Afghanistan against the Soviets? No less a Democrat than Hillary Clinton just came out in defense of the Russians, the cousins of the Serbs, and their invasion of Afghanistan. She suggested that Soviet doctrine was better for women than Sharia. Should we have wanted a more modern, egalitarian, Christian army to defeat the misogynistic Balkan muslim Army? The Left should be heard on these matters.

Why should the Left be allowed to deny itself the treatment it unleashes on everyone else?
