Ratko Mladic being arraigned before a magistrate in Belgrade to supposedly decide his extradition to the International Court to be tried for war crimes.
Editor’s Note: This is a repost of a prior publication prompted by the celebratory cackle of the corporate media upon the apprehension of the putative war criminal Ratko Mladic, a Bosnian Serb commander accused of brutal massacres during the Yugoslavian civil war in the 1990s. Parenti’s lecture reminds us that the reality behind the frothings of the American media about Serbia, duly echoed by its class allies and accomplices across the planet, are largely a hypocritical tissue of self-serving lies, and that while Mladic—”the most wanted war criminal in Europe” as the official billing went—may not be a cuddly guy, OK, I’ll grant you that, but America itself, along with Britain and other imperial powers have criminals in their employ, serving the goals of their respective plutocracies, that would make Mladic’s deeds ludicrously trivial by comparison. —Addison dePitt
