There is something 'unbalanced here': it's Harold Pinter.

Milosevic was a Head of State, a State which pursued a policy of
Genocide. Milosevic is a War Criminal. Pinter seeks to defend Milosevic.

interesting point.  there is an international body to try such cases
which the united states (and NATO) has as yet failed to recognize
I think it's called the ICCJ?

war as simply another species of crime.
