Of the messages I saved from the Chomsky list, 12 were from Milutin
expressing his anti-NATO protest of the bombing of Jugoslavia.  There
were more than that, but I didn't save them all.

I have seen no messages from Milutin protesting the bombing of
Chechnya.

Bombing is immoral.  It is just as immoral to bomb Chechnya as it was
to bomb Serbia.  And I don't mean to pick on Milutin.  He's just the
easiest target.  Nobody else has protested the bombing of Chechnya
either.  Not on this list, and nowhere else, either, that I have
seen.

So can we finally admit that the protests of the NATO bombing were not
motivated by the immorality of bombing?  Because, apparently, bombing
Chechens is ok.  Bombing Serbs is not.
