War
in the Balkans "It
all went very well," said the General.
"Another effective day." By Robert Fisk in Brussels IN SAIGON, during the
Vietnam War, they had the five o'clock
follies. In the 1991 Gulf War, the
Americans boasted of their military
successes at the four o'clock
follies. In Brussels, Nato's follies start at
three o'clock. But yesterday, the Shea and
Jertz show was theatre of the obscene. Indeed, as we all waited to hear Nato's
reaction to what might be its most
terrible bloodbath to date (or Serbia's
most successful propaganda), a Nato
technician projected a massive test slide
on to the screen next to the 19 flags of
the alliance. .... WE
regret that by letter dated
Tuesday, December 5, 2000 a
Ms. Louise
Hayman,
the head of legal services at
The Independent newspaper,
requested that Robert Fisk's
articles be removed from this
website. We have adjusted the
masthead accordingly. You can
access it by the link at the
top until the newspaper
disables th4e URL. |
