Wesley Clark - the real Democratic dud BY DOUG BANDOW FOR THE STRAITS TIMES JAN 16, 2004 FORMER General Wesley Clark has become the great hope for establishment Democrats seeking to stop front-runner Howard Dean in his quest for the Democratic presidential nomination. Yet Gen Clark, who has based his campaign on his foreign policy credentials, actually has the strangest foreign policy views of anyone in America's presidential race. While Democrats were firing away at each other in the aftermath of the capture of Saddam Hussein, Gen Clark was at The Hague, seeking to hype his candidacy by testifying at the United Nations trial of former Yugoslav president Slobodan Milosevic. Gen Clark, who prosecuted the 1999 war against Yugoslavia, suggested the tribunal be considered as 'one of the venues' for trying Saddam. p> That's actually a foolish idea. Saddam's crimes were first and foremost against the Iraqi people. Iraqis should hold him accountable. Moreover, however satisfying it is to see Milosevic in the dock, the idea that the UN has a right to create artificial ex post facto law should discomfit anyone who believes in the rule of law. Milosevic deserved to be tried, but in Yugoslavia. straitstimes.asia1.com.sg
