Milosevic Wrap Up

Although I didn't know it at the time, the War in Serbia was to become the model for the War in Iraq. Both were horribly misguided and initiated based on false information.

It seems that governments (or at least the US government) must have a war to fight in order to justify its existence. The war can be against poverty or wars against fictional "Hitlers", it is all pretty much the same. They key is the government has no interest in seeing the problems solved as that would put them out of work.

Here is a list of some interesting comments on Milosevic and the Serbian war.
