Spin and propaganda are treacherous for democracies. Milosevic has been using propaganda, but he feels no shame, and has no free press to pin him to the wall. Although not used as extensively, NATO and western politicians have also been using spin / propaganda to keep the war popular with their electorates. The problem for NATO and these politicians is that they have a free press to deal with, have been contradicted by facts repeateadly, and now have a credibility problem. In the Chinese Embassy bombing, we see the Chinese using the West's poor record about Kosovo to accuse the alliance of having willfully targeted their embassy (which I do not believe for a second). The Chinese are spining, just like our politicians did.
