So who is surprised? After Oklahoma City, the first comments in the press were about Islamists, but no 'international' inquiry. An in the Congo, after a history of UN and Western support for the previous government, the new leaders have legitimate grounds to fear that any UN investigations into missing/massacred refugees would end up as a tool to attempt to impose external control over the new government. Likewise, I do not remember any 'international' inquiries into the disappearances in Argentina during the 70s. Maybe 'international' inquiries are appropriate for 'developing' nations, but not for Western nations. >Date: Thu, 08 Jan 1998 14:13:57 -0500 >To: iwarat_private >From: Jim Laverty <laverty@matrix-one.com> >Subject: Re: [IWAR] ALGERIA will handle terrorists >Reply-To: iwarat_private > >It's sad, but I would have to agree with Algerian government, in regards to >an international inquiry.
