Assertion after assertion -- no evidence. Getting into a snit because someone doesn't agree with your interpretation? There is no authoritarianism like liberalism that wants to claim the mantle of "radical thought."
***** The Independent (London) April 24, 1999, Saturday SECTION: FEATURES; Pg. 12 HEADLINE: THE BOOKS INTERVIEW: THE GIANT OF LJUBLJANA; SLAVOJ ZIZEK, SLOVENIA'S SUPERSTAR PHILOSOPHER, BACKS THE WAR AGAINST HIS EX-BOSSES. GUY MANNES-ABBOTT MET HIM
BYLINE: Guy Mannes-Abbott
...The Slovenians were the first to be attacked by Slobodan Milosevic's Serbia, in the three-day war of 1990. That conflict revealed the extent of international apathy towards Milosevic's aggressive nationalism, which has culminated in the Kosovan war. Today, Zizek lambasts "the interminable procrastination" of Western governments and says that "I definitely support the bombing" of Milosevic's regime by Nato. But he argues that Milosevic is also symptomatic of the New World Order, and that our real focus should be on creating "transnational political movements" to counter it.... *****
Did Zizek write a letter of protest to _The Independent_, demanding the retraction of the headline that says "Slavoj Zizek...Backs the War..." and of his quated statement ("I definitely support the bombing")? It's much more honest to take the position that Max, Nathan, Chris Burford, etc. took here.
