The atrocities Serb troops have committed in Bosnia and Kosovo are no accidents but a naked and deliberate targeting of civilians as their primary military tactic. Perhaps the embassy bombing was an error, though I don't believe we yet have anything close to the truth about it. (Truth remains the first casualty of war.) But the bombings of civilian power grids, water pumps, villages, are a deliberate and intentional attack on the civilians. There is no excuse for these as "military targets." We are intentionally (and illegally) targeting the civilian population in the hope that they will bring pressure on Milosovic to end the war. Nato spokesmen have said as much. And such tactics are quite specifically against international law. This makes Clinton a war criminal just as much as Milosovic. And the numbers are not a difference -- a murderer is a murderer whether he kills 10 people or 100. The penalty is the same.
