| NEW RULES? |
 |
| For Ottawa Citizen, May 1999. |
|
| The mess that Canada and its NATO allies have created
for themselves in Yugoslavia does not do credit to our political leaders. We deserve
better than to suddenly find our-selves at war with Yugoslavia for reasons that are beyond
the understanding of most Canadians. |

 |
|
| Despite what we are told by Art
Eggleton, our Minister of National Defense, massive bombing raids can never serve
humanitarian objectives. Any sensible person could have predicted that by attacking
Yugoslavia we would only exacerbate the refugee situation in Kosovo. Let us not forget
that before Yugoslavia was presented with the NATO ultimation at Rambouillet an ultimatum
that no sovereign state would have accepted international observers and aid agencies were
on the ground in Kosovo. |
