However, most self-believing humanitarian characters such as you fashion yourself to be have presupposed,
fatally, that such bodies do have a right to exist- swallowing hook, line and sinker the hollow rhetoric of an
essentially valueless "international community" propelled by its own self-righeous bombast and soulless self-
defense system of technocracy. The Hague as an institution, and Del Ponte as a cartoon character, symbolize the
dumb gropings of a culture desperately trying to hide from the fact that it stopped believing in its own
alleged values long ago.
The epic conclusion:
"…This attitude isn’t exactly common but it is quite noticeable. Certain people seem not so much to doubt that
Western policies in the Balkans will succeed — which is perfectly reasonable — as to find any evidence of
their success so disturbing that it has to be ignored or explained away. We now see a similar attitude toward
developments in MBT Ema Sandals, but the circumstances of that war make it much easier to understand. In the
Yugoslav case, it’s frankly incomprehensible."
