...Even further, this is a man, who despite his current popularity among progressives, underwent a good amount of liberal scrutiny as well—from free trade to “workfare” to the wars in Kosovo and Bosnia. Indeed, there was a significant element of the Left that was so fed up with the dishonesty and hypocrisy of the Clinton administration that it was willing to vote for Ralph Nader in 2000, knowing full well such the political implications of such...

...Kostunica, whose constitutional power as Prime Minister is stronger than the President's, also announced that he would freeze the membership talks with the E.U. if it sends a supervising mission to Kosovo to replace the current U.N. administration without the U.N.
