...people into four bloody battlefield defeats in less than a decade, presided over a nation's dismantling and masterminded the hate-inspired slaughter of thousands - all in the service of his own political survival - Milosevic's ultimate surrender stunned the world for its utter lack of drama. The magnitude of what it represented was even more staggering: a tyrant who for years mocked the values of civilized nations is now in the international community's custody. When he appears this week at the U.N.'s courtroom in the Hague to hear the charges against him - which include crimes against humanity...
Contrast this widespread tolerance, if not acceptance, of the mass slaughter of embryos, even among right-to-lifers, with the huge fuss that antiabortion forces have stirred up over the relatively rare practice they insist on calling partial-birth abortions.

Kerrey recalls that the killings were an accident that occurred during a confusing night of war. Since the stories are so contradictory, and we can't distinguish the truth, we should put this behind us and move forward. Judgment of these men will...
...many Japanese men, women and children were condemned to death when the U.S. bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki? I am 86 years old and have lived through "the war to end all wars." Don't blame Kerrey for the slaughter at Thanh Phong. Blame the powers that be for sending men and women into battle. ESTHER MORRISON Santa...
