MILOSEVIC VS. HUSSEIN
The puzzling dichotomy of the left

Not the most terrific article in the world, but raises some valid questions.

"...Milosevic had never had – much less ever used – weapons of mass destruction, he was not aiding or abetting global terrorist organizations, nor did he have rape and torture chambers throughout his nation as did Saddam Hussein.
