    A brilliant gentleman, never another like him.

      This is not gentleman. This is a nazi trash. This is the words he spoke about one proud nation and about one proud country while terrorist countries bombed that same country. Just like Ukraine now. But that country had no ally like Ukraine have US, British and part of Europe on her side. And that country was not nazistic....
      Peter Ustinov:
      "It is unfortunate for all that no moral issue has ever been clearer. Any attempt to plea-bargain with outlaws and renegades will only be at the expense of honor, decency and self-respect. The Serbs, are two-dimensional people with a craving for simplicity and an ideology so basic it can be understood without effort. They need enemies, not friends, to focus their two-dimensional ideas. Life for them is a simple tune, never an orchestration, or even a pleasant harmony. Animals make use of their resources with far greater felicity than these retorted creatures, whose subscription to the human race is well in arrears.".
      Peace of human trash.
