    Re: Update

    From the A Tiny Revolution post:

    President Bush praised Yugoslavia for handing over Milosevic, saying the move showed the Balkan nation wants to turn away from ''its tragic past and toward a brighter future.''

    Absurdly, the current argument is that the Bush administration should not not be prosecuted because the United States needs to look "away from its tragic past and toward a brighter future" so as not to become victim of unproductive partisan bickering.
