So the CIA brought out almost the entire population of Serbia against Slobo yesterday? Cheez, I bet they wish.  We will see whether the dire predictions about the new leadership's policies turn out to be true; I actually think that the leadership is rather nationalistic, but time will tell. However, I am very disappointed that Lou can only see the sinister hand of outside agitators and imperialkist spies in the mass revulsion against the  Milosovic regime. --jks

A better analogy would be with the protests against Salvador Allende or
Mossadegh. Such activities have less to do with CNN than they do with the
power of the dollar and the CIA.
