Altro che criminale di guerra.  Milosevic era un santo rispetto a
quelli che stanno conducendo la "guerra al terrorismo", per non parlare
di Ariel Sharon.

The next witness to take the stand was General Geza Farkas. Gen. Farkas
was the chief of the Security Dept. of the Yugoslav Army during the
Kosovo war, prior to that he was an assistant deputy minister in the
Yugoslav Defense Ministry.
...
"...Gen. Farkas devoted a great deal of his testimony to the measures
that were taken to prevent and punish criminal conduct in the ranks of
the [Yugoslav] army. He showed the court several orders, in which
soldiers were commanded to refrain from criminal conduct and to report
crimes whenever they occurred.
Gen. Farkas confirmed that some crimes had been committed by Yugoslav
soldiers in Kosovo, but denied that they were committed in a widespread
or systematic manner. He said that individuals and small groups of up
to three people committed crimes. He said that whenever evidence of
crimes came to light, the military judiciary energetically prosecuted
the perpetrators.
As the chief of military security, Gen Farkas often met with Milosevic
during the Kosovo war. He explained that Milosevic's attitude towards
criminal conduct in the army and police was extremely negative. The
witness said that Milosevic ordered the army and police to take all
conceivable measures to prevent crimes from even happening in the first
place.
Milosevic was also very concerned about the possibility of Serbian
paramilitary groups becoming active in Kosovo. Milosevic ordered that
no paramilitary groups be permitted to operate anywhere in Kosovo.
According to Gen. Farkas, Milosevic authorized the army to blockade the
border with Republika Srpska in the event that Serbian paramilitary
activity was detected there.
Gen. Farkas said that when Milosevic learned of crimes committed by
reserve policemen who had associated with Slobodan Medic "Boca," he
became extremely angry. He demanded an explanation of how the Skorpions
commander could have been active in Kosovo, then he demanded that the
perpetrators be prosecuted and that nothing like that be permitted to
happen in the future.
In view of his high position in the military chain of command,
Milosevic asked Gen. Farkas whether he had any knowledge about the
so-called "Joint Criminal Enterprise" alleged by the indictment.
The witness answered that it was impossible that a conspiracy to
ethnically cleanse Kosovo of its Albanian population could have existed
within the army. He explained that such a conspiracy would have had to
be implemented by soldiers on the ground, and that too many people
would have had to be involved."
...
"He explained that each soldier was given a document detailing
international humanitarian law. The soldiers were ordered by the
general staff to ignore any orders that would have violated
international humanitarian law, and to report the officer giving the
illegal orders to their superior."

 international humanitarian law.

And in fact, it's not exactly correct that the media haven't
reported the war crimes. They often report them and
celebrate them. So take for example the invasion of
Fallujah, which is one of the - it's a major war crime, it's
very similar to the Russian destruction of Grozny 10 years
earlier, a city of approximately the same size, bombed to
rubble, people driven out.
Alam: They herded all the males, I think, they didn't let
them escape the corridor.
Chomsky: Which incidentally is very much like Srebrenica -
which is universally condemned as genocide -- Srebrenica was
an enclave, lightly protected by UN forces, which was being
used as a base for attacking nearby Serb villages. It was
known that there's going to be retaliation. When there was a
retaliation, it was vicious. They trucked out all the women
and children, they kept the men inside, and apparently
slaughtered them. The estimates are thousands of people
slaughtered.
Well, with Fallujah, the US didn't truck out the women and
children, it bombed them out. There was about a month of
bombing, bombed out of the city, if they could get out
somehow, a couple hundred thousand people fled, or somehow
got out, and as you say men were kept in and we don't know
what happened after that, we don't estimate [the casualties
for which we are responsible].
But what was dramatic about Fallujah was that it was not
kept secret. So you could see on the front page of the New
York Times, a big picture of the first major . . . step in
the offensive, namely the capture of the Fallujah general
hospital. And there's a picture of people lying on the
ground, soldier guarding them, and then there's a story that
tells that patients and doctors were taken from - patients
were taken from their beds, patients and doctors were forced
to lie on the floor and manacled, under guard, and the
picture described it.
-- The president of the United States is subject to death
penalty under US law for that crime - alone. I mean that's a
grave breach of the Geneva Conventions, Geneva Conventions
say explicitly and unambiguously that hospitals must be
protected, hospitals and medical staff and patients must be
protected by all combatants in any conflict. You couldn't
have a more grave breach of the Geneva Conventions than that.

Alam: So, so much for the framework of "civilization" versus
"barbarism."
Chomsky: No, it's absurd, I mean look, let's just take -
what's the worst atrocity since the Mongol invasions? You
know, it's what happened in Germanyin the late 30s - 40s
primarily. Germany was the peak of Western civilization. It
was the most advanced society in the Western world, in the
sciences, in the arts, in literature, the stellar example of
Western civilization. In fact up until the first World War,
when people turned anti-German, Germany had been described
by American political scientists as the model of democracy.
That's the peak of Western civilization - yeah, it's the
worst barbarism since the Mongol
