        No, it's simpler to see your reaction as more an almost uncritical
acceptance of the Imperial Party Line we are deluged with near-nightly on
CNN et al.

        Penya's analysis makes total sense to me;  it's well balanced, but
where you seem not to want to agree is where he states the basic truth
about the West's playing favorites here.  I don't think he's siding with
Srb strongmen so much as pointing out how the Srbs, Hrvats and Muslims
are, in the end, the same people...

        Maybe he'd even _AGREE_ with you about Milosevic -- but I detect
here a `political correctness' miffed-ness which seems more a reaction to
perceptions, than what was actually said -- not unlike what happened in
the `abortion rights' `debate' here earlier...
