Slobodan Milosevic as an autocratic ruler whose only preoccupation was to remain in power
Couldn't you say the same of President Johnson, President Carter, Gov.Gray Davis, Senator Boxer, Feingold, etc. etc. etc.? What's autocratic?
Serbian president played up nationalist feelings among his fellow countrymen
What did Churchill do with his in his 'we arm to parley', or in his 'if civilization should last a thousand years, this could be our finest hour' speeches? How about President Roosevelt in his 'all we have to fear is fear itself' speech, or President Bush's ' if your are not with us, you're against us'.
Who did these people, or leaders I should say, consult or listen to?
You need to come up with something more substantial than hollow words.
