I wish you'd stop smearing the names of Allende and the Sandinistas
by likening them to Slobo. You just can't get your head around the
fact that Serbs don't like your man, can you? Whatever the causes or
consequences of this rebellion, it looks like authority collapsed in
the face of a mass uprising. By what means do you see your own
opinion - that of someone living 4510 miles from Belgrade - as more
valid than that of the people who've been living under Milo's regime?
