Sir, - A strange phenomenon has occurred. Suddenly the pro-Serb apologists are silent - silenced by the horrific truth emerging from the mass graves of Kosovo.
Caught by Milosevic and his clique in the spotlight of rabid nationalism, the Serb people (with some heroic exceptions) have been led down a trail of butchery and deceit. Their acquiescence is at least partially explained by the authoritarian nature of the Belgrade regime. The foreign fans of Milosevic's genocidal project have no such excuse and no amount of self-justification can now conceal the moral bankruptcy of their position.
Would it be too much to hope that they will maintain a humble silence? - Yours, etc., Colm Breathnach,
