...every pretrial appearance, Milosevic has responded with political diatribes. He has labeled the charges against him "absurd" and "monstrous," the prosecutor a NATO mouthpiece, the court a "retarded 7-year-old." He has called himself a peacemaker who is on trial to cover up NATO aggression against a sovereign country. The rants have led the presiding judge, Richard May, to cut off Milosevic's microphone. Milosevic has dropped hints that he might stage a grand scene by calling a parade of Western leaders to testify, starting with former President Bill Clinton and British Prime Minister Tony Blair.

It's their country, their sovereign territory. We're going to give them added or enhanced skills and application of what they already have to go ahead and take care of the situation by themselves.
