question about Milosevic (was RE: Bin Laden: The Story That Needs To Be Told)

[Ken Hanly]

It is interesting to note the phraseology. It is Milosevic that is alleged
to have killed 200,000 in Bosnia. A power to kill is attributed to Milosevic
that would be the envy of Rambo or James Bond. In order to create a focus of
attention and personalise the killing it is attributed to Milosevic not the
actual killers. True the general policy may have been approved or
promulgated directly by Milosevic but this still does not mean he is any
kind of direct agent in the deaths.

    In the same way bin Laden might be regarded as the killer of the 5,000
plus innocent people in New York and Washington. He may certainly have a
considerable degree of responsbility, but  he was not on any of the suiicide
planes. He was not a direct agent. But it is convenient to put a face on the
terror. Bin Laden probably is involved but as an "inspiration" and
entrepreneur of terrorist enterprises.

Cheers, Ken Hanly
