This isn?t a movement based simply on a charismatic personality; it?s based on a perception that injustices are being committed against Arabs and Muslims." That perception gives Bin Laden a steady supply of funds and recruits, despite U.S. attempts to put the squeeze on his international network. "To deal effectively with terrorism," says...

In addition, the opposition is bedeviled by the divisions in its ranks. Vuk Draskovic, the opposition leader of the 1996 protest movement who later went into Milosevic?s cabinet as deputy prime minister -- and was later fired for his dissenting views at the height of the Kosovo conflict -- dismissed Tuesday?s protest as the work of small parties of no influence.
