What Slobbo can teach us

From Dr Michael Pravica Sir: Thank you for publishing `Let Slobbo speak for himself (10 July). The wanton, illegal and vicious destruction of Yugoslavia and the lies promulgated by the Western 'free and fair' mainstream media have created a new historical precedent which ultimately encouraged and set the stage for the US and Britain's illegal invasion of Iraq.

Though Slobodan Milosevic is an unlikely and undeserving candidate for the underdog role, his fight for justice and truth against Western tyranny is one that we should all learn from.
