In a September 17, 1863, letter to the War Department, Gen. William Sherman wrote:

"The United States has the right, and ... the ... power, to penetrate to every part of the national domain. We will remove and destroy every obstacle — if need be, take every life, every acre of land, every particle of property, everything that to us seems proper."

President Lincoln liked Sherman's letter so much that he declared that it should be published.

On June 21, 1864, before his bloody March to the Sea, Sherman wrote to the secretary of war:

"There is a class of people [in the South] — men, women, and children, who must be killed or banished before you can hope for peace and order."

How would U.N. war crimes investigators react if Slobodan Milosevic had made this comment about ethnic Albanians?

That he'd be denounced for following in the footsteps of Sherman [*SPIT*] - a war criminal deserving of death for his atrcities commited against innocents.
