those who punish Yugoslavia

those who punish yugoslavia claim moral superiority; claim that human rights
can be spread with fire and sword throughout the world system; and claim
that this prevents more Auschwitz's. my question is: how can the memory of
those perished in Auschwitz and Treblinka and Babi Yar and ... be honoured
by inflicting death and destruction? in what sense is that the righteous
thing to do?
