The majority may not like Milosevic but they have given his party more than
a majority in recent elections. That is why you are seeing a
Western-generated uprising. Interesting that some  leftists cheer the
burning of parliament buildings when the supposed aim is to impose
democracy. Nothing like destroying democracy to promote democracy.
     Here are the results of recent elections in Jugoslavia:
            Lower house: M's party: 72 of 138 seats in lower house. Up from
64 in last election and an absolute majority for the demon.
    Upper house: 26 of 40 seats. Again an absolute majority. The opposition
has ten seats.
       Cheers, Ken Hanly
