    Clinton's 'Good War' ......... by Diana Johnstone For U.S. politicians, if all wars are good, some are better than others. Democrats prefer Clinton wars and Republicans prefer Bush wars. But in the end, they almost unanimously come together to support all wars. The differences concern the choice of official rationale. To suggest subtle criticism of the Republican war against Iraq, while making it clear that they are by no means opposed to war as such, the 2004 Democratic election campaigners can be expected to glorify the Kosovo war. The prominence of General Wesley Clark in the Democratic camp makes that...

    The United Nations has failed in Kosovo and should be phased out within months, an ethnic Albanian former guerrilla commander and now leading politician said on Friday. In a stinging critique, Hashim Thaci said the U.N. mission (UNMIK) had lost all credibility and should be limited to an advisory role after parliamentary elections in October. "UNMIK has been a complete failure, particularly in the last two years," the former leader of the Kosovo Liberation Army KLA said in an interview marking the withdrawal of Serb forces and the entry of NATO peacekeepers exactly five years ago. "They can continue until...

    Kerry’s Dogs of War By M. Bozinovich Recent Albanian violence against the Serbs in Kosovo appears to have been a screaming success. Aside that UNMIK has made no convictions of the arrested Albanian suspects, the fact that NATO inflicted no reprisal to counter its exposed military impotence leaves the Albanian militants in a confident position that, if repeated again, the violence will drive NATO out of Kosovo. In fact, it appears that the Albanian militants have also set the NATO drive-out date. "I'm not a fan of setting dates,” said Hasim Taci, the leader of the Albanian paramilitary in Kosovo...

        | |     February 6, 2002Yugoslavia's EndThe name is gone, but delusions remain This Tuesday, the parliament of the last Yugoslavia decided to lay the name and the idea to rest, abolishing the country in favor of a new, ill-defined entity called "Serbia and Montenegro." The new Constitutional Charter and the bill governing its implementation had already been passed by the Serbian parliament on the 28th, and by the parliament of Montenegro the day after. The decision is not unexpected. As early as last March, Serbia and Montenegro's vassal potentates signed a pledge drafted by their...
