Nestor,

While I basically agree with Yoshies approach of building broad anti-war
alliances I think its the attitude of people like Jared who make it
difficult to build such alliances. When even the mildest critics of
Milosevic are denounced as tools of NATO propaganda, thats what I would call
sectarianism.

To accuse Owen (as opposed to Jared) of sectarianism is sort of absurd.
