3) MORAL STATEMENT ONE: Intervention could only be justified based on International law: The point Charles and I were arguing when I left, the subsequent indictment of Milosevic by the International Human Rights Tribunal and the United Nations approval of KFOR occupation of Kosovo would seem to, at least retroactively, shine a nice international law gloss over the whole operation.

Charles: I am not exactly sure what you are saying here, but there is no change on this point. The U.S. was in flagrante delicto of international law. The bombing was a war crime. Clinton and others "should" be indicted, but might makes right, so they won't be. The UN does not decide this legal question. It is being controlled by the U.S. and NATO and is in pari delicto.
