The campaigns in Kosovo and Serbia wreck lives. The propaganda war, meanwhile, rots brains and engorges hatreds. The Mirror fuses holocaust with Hollywood in a tacky front-page flashback to Schindler's List. Sanity and humanity are flattened by lies. A war proclaimed to spare suffering gets hijacked by bloodlust.
Critical intelligence is sacrificed to the government line.
The lies are airborne and are pounding the truth into silence. The Serb lies are mirrored and matched by Nato lies. Weltpolitik nor their ideological consistency. Their behaviour in Kosovo is jacked to the level of Stalin's Great Terror, Pol Pot's killing fields and Hitler's holocaust, whereas part of its horror is that it belongs in a peculiarly Balkan tradition of ruthless inter-communal warfare. On the Nato side, the war of abuse is designed to justify the war of bombs.
