all the Serbs (and I have lovers and friends in Belgrade, and family connections
to the ex Yugoslavia that go back around 30 years) are anti Milosevic.  Michael
sees the whole country as culpable.  Serbs are never victims in his view, they
should all be beating their breasts and covering themselves with ashes.  Tito was
a saint, as I would gather are Clinton, Albright and Tony Blair in the Benson
world view.

we agree there.  i see no sign of Sm quietly sliding off into oblivion.  The best
sign I have seen is the opposition of the Serbian church, but I suspect that they
are angry with him (with some justification) for being such an incompetent
nationalist, leading an ever shrinking country.
