Clark, who is taking a break from his campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination, was cross-examined by Milosevic -- who is conducting his own defense -- in the closed-door hearings.
The trial brought Clark and Milosevic face to face for the first time in four years.
Clark, a former Vietnam veteran, was NATO's allied commander during the alliance's 1999 campaign against Yugoslavia which forced Milosevic's troops out of Kosovo. Milosevic, the former Yugoslav president, is charged with crimes against humanity in Croatia and Kosovo, and genocide in Bosnia.
After Tuesday's hearing, Clark said he had found the experience of giving evidence "very, very satisfying."
"I watched the ravages of his leadership in Europe for years, I have talked to his victims, I have met them, I have seen the results in the shattered cities of the former Yugoslavia," he said. "The process will enable us to move beyond collective guilt and into assigning individual guilt and that is the real political significance of what's happening here."

either person's shoes, now that I think of it!!! How many boxes of diapers would he need?
And, you know, it would be a real shame if, in an interview, someone like Paula Zahn would actually ask him more about the
trial, and how he
feels facing this horrible man, rather than asking the same stupid old questions about the campaign.
