Letter: Serb `genocide'

Sir: I believe that one lesson history has taught us is that the biggest threat to any society is its own government. One of the noblest principles of the UN was to provide the peoples of the world with protection from these inherently dangerous institutions.

Now that the illegal bombing of the Serbs has set in motion the degrading of the UN's authority, the question arises of what exactly we are to replace the UN with. Who now protects the world from any potential threat by the American-owned club called Nato?

This insidious organisation is effectively destroying the very rock that the new world order was supposed to be built upon.
