To Kill A Nation

According to Parenti, Milosevich was not the evil dictator he was made out to be. He was a socialist. Yugoslavia made the mistake of borrowing money from the IMF to modernize their industry after the Soviet collapse. The IMF wrecked the economy, created massive unemployment and disrupted what was once a peacefully coexisting population of Serbs and Croations. The violence that ensued, though instigated by both sides, was attributed to only one, which gave Clinton the excuse to bomb them. Evil capitalist corporations could then feast on the spoils and help Yugoslavia "rebuild" and establish a free market. Neither a borrower nor a lender be.
