  According to the Guardian’s Neil Clark, however, Milosevic was just a victim of nasty western neo-liberal discrimination. I’m not joking. These are Clark’s very own words in The Guardian, after Slobo’s death in prison: “Milosevic was mourned not just in Serbia, but throughout the world: in China, Africa, Asia and South America, as a hero of the anti-imperialist, anti-globalist struggle.”

  Have you an opinion on this or is at an attempt to rile up those darn lefties and provoke a reaction?

  He's just trying for balance after all the stuff about the Mail being friends of Hitler and supporting fascism.

  that's just a factual statement...............it gives no indication as to Clark's own opinion of Milosovic
  
  If I was to say 'Hitler was very popular in Germany as a hero of the Volk und Vaterland' it doesn't mean I support him

  I like how Sean Thomas neglects to mention that this was comment rather than reportage.
