Evidently he didn't do too good of a job at his attempt. If I rememebr
correctly, Wasn't he proven to be one of the most corrupt of Eastern
bloc dictators..?


That was the guy in Romania.


Oh, I know the difference between Josip "Tito" Bronz and Milosovic.

But the ws I see it is that Tito didn't like the "ruskie way of
communism, and went to fight the corruption, but had a highly corrupt
dictatorship.

Milosovic? He was corrupt all right, but he wasn't as corrupt as he
was an evil butcher.
