General Clark testifies in the Hague
General Clark testified against one of the most brutal, dangerous dictators Europe has seen in the last 100 years. (Slobodan Milosevic is in good company with the likes of Hitler, Stalin and Mussolini). Taking a cue from what happened in Nuremburg after World War II, the civilized world is trying war criminals from all sides in the Yugoslav civil war. Of course, Milosevic was the spark that started that war.
I can't describe how proud I am that General Wesley Clark - the man whom I support for President - testified this week against this butcher Milosevic.
Clark, ever mindful of his sense of duty, thought nothing of taking a week out from his incredibly busy campaign schedule - just over a month before the pivotal New Hampshire primary - to give his testimony. Clark's sense of service to mankind in this case trumps his own self-interest.
That's what leadership is about.
I don't know if testifying at the ICTY will earn Clark any votes, but it should.
