This article reflects on Serbia which was held up as a bright, shining example of successful U.S.-sponsored regime change to justify plans to invade Iraq without the approval of the United Nations. Ari Fleischer, a spokesman for the White House, argued that the 1999 bombing campaign of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization weakened Slobodan Milosevic and hastened his fall from power. Two days later in downtown Belgrade, the old regime bit back by gunning down Serbian Prime Minister Zoran Djindjic near his headquarters.
