The twighlight zone

Here's a laugh for a Monday morning. Neil Clark, whose postings on his mass murdering hero, Milosevic, would be tragic if they weren't so hilarious, has posted the text of a complaint to the BBC from one William Spring, the Director of what Clark describes as "an ecumenical peace group".

The group is in reality Christians Against Nato Agression, a lunatic fringe organisation which holds a bizarre notion of Christianity that encompasses the defence of one of history's most brutal mass murderers, Slobodan Milosevic. (And Spring describes himself as Chairman rather than Director.)

Anyway, if you fancy a laugh, have a look at the complaint.

Today's Guardian letters do not disappoint. I would point out that they are entirely unbalanced, since all three are from loony tunes school of Balkan history. But the sad truth is that they are probably not unbalanced, given the fact that this is Guardian letter writers we are talking about.

The first calls Milosevic another of "the unfortunate Serbian victims of this undue process", and the third says that "The demise of Slobodan Milosevic casts a shadow over the credibility of the Hague tribunal". Best of all though is the second, which has the wonderful line: " I am no defender of Milosevic, but...". You don't need to read the rest. It is, funnily enough, a defence - nay a eulogy - of Milosevic.

La-di-da.
