There is some to say about your opinion. And i don't always think either that NATO is very smart all the time, but the Hitler is now not Nato, but Milosevic who drags also the innocent Serbian people under.

Let me put it this way if the real Hitler in the 1930 throught1040 would not have been stopped we all here in Europe would have spoken German.Also in the end the Serbian people.

That for everyone would have been a major bummer right?

No Jews anymore
No Polosh anymore
No Balkan countries anymore

All what would have been there where blond "wel educated" German speaking people.

With this cenario in mind no thanks. Milosevic is just another Hitler, I thank god that there are enough innocent Serbians even Serbian who can and are courages enough to say it outloud!

Emina

Ps the part that i also agree on is that i think that it would not be ok if Ameria keeps on deciding randomly at will which country is inportant enough to stand up for.

In order to convince world opinion
that air strikes are a justifiable
threat against the recalcitrant
Yugoslav leader Slobodan
Milosevic, the international
community is relying on two
motives: the "brutality" of the Serbs
and the threat of "Greater Serbia" that could imperil the stability of the
region. These are two myths constructed by the West to justify its
intervention and prepare its domination of the Balkans. Let's start by first
exploring the validity of such an accusation that was made and still remains
against a whole people: the brutality of the Serbs.

To begin, we need to go back to the Bosnian war, which was presented
erroneously by the dominant media as an aggression conducted by Serbs
coming from a neighboring country (Serbia). Bosnia was then a
multi-ethnic Republic (one of the six that then formed Yugoslavia)
populated mostly by Muslims(43%), Serbs(31%), and Croats(17%).
While all had lived there for centuries, the Western media reserved the
term "Bosniac" solely to the Muslims. On the other hand, Serbs of Bosnia
were never qualified as "Bosniac" but only as "Serbs." This is how the
public was mislead to believe that they were an exterior element, coming
from Serbia, and that it was legitimate to chase them out. (1,2) Once the
civil wars erupted, the Serbs of Belgrade naturally came to the support of
their ethnic brothers, but contrary to common belief , they never took the
initiative of any intervention. To misjudge this fact, namely the difference
between a local upheaval and an outside intervention is to blame wrongly
Milosevic as solely responsible for the hostilities. (3)

The recent brutality of the Serbian Security Forces in defending Serbia
from the repeated attacks of the Kosovo Liberation Army has been
reactionary and possibly criminal, but to what extent can one say it has
been worse than the atrocities of the KLA themselves, or the brutality
shown by the Croats and the Muslims in the mid-nineties in Bosnia?
Violence and brutality are by no means exclusive to the Serbs in the
Balkans. The Western press, however, has certainly chosen its side. One
just needs to review the world media to be aware of how balanced
reporting -known to be not entertaining -remains a pious vow as far as
Serbs are involved. I will let David Binder of the New York Times speak
from his own experience :"In New York and Washington it is considered
politically correct to malign the Serbs on any and all occasions until it has
almost turned into racism. The Serbs are being demonized practically to
the point of excluding any reporting that brings about a balance." (4)

The role of U.S. public relations firms should also be exposed. According
to a U.S. Department of Justice official document, the Washington based
public relations agency Ruder-Finn served as a media counsel for the
Government of Bosnia-Herzegovina in order to "facilitate a greater U.S.
leadership role in the Balkans ...and to educate U.S. government officials,
including Clinton Transition Team members and news media reporters,
editors and producers to the continuing tragedy taking place in Bosnia."
The same document also acknowledges that Ruder-Finn during the period
from November 1992 to May 1993, rendered the same type of service
for the province of Kosovo for a fee of $230,000, consisting of a
"compilation of background materials and dissemination of information
regarding the brutal Serbian repression of minorities in Kosovo." This
provides clear evidence that a strategy of communications has been
carefully planned by the ethnic Albanians with the support of the U.S.
government at least five years before the violence erupted in the province,
specifically targeting opinion leaders in order to manipulate the mass
media against the Serbs.

It was not surprising, therefore, to see the U.S.-imposed head of the
OSCE (Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe) "verifiers"
mission to Kosovo, William Walker, declaring his indignation at the
atrocities committed by "the Serb police forces and the Yugoslav Army"
at the recent "massacre" of Racak before the facts became known. Racak
is particularly important because this occasion was used by Western
diplomacy to trigger off the so-called "peace process," Rambouillet,
followed by Paris, which ultimately revealed itself to be more of an
ultimatum: "sign and submit to an occupying army or be bombed." In fact,
there are a lot of contested truths about the "Racak massacre." "The
account of two journalists of Associated Press TV (AP TV) who filmed
the police operation contradicts this tale" reported French television and
newspapers a few days later. (5) Walker is not an independent and
neutral observer, but a U.S. State department veteran who directed the
dirty war against El Salvador and Nicaragua in the nineties. According to
charges filed in U.S. District Court by independent counsel Lawrence
Walsh, Walker was responsible for setting up a phony humanitarian
operation at an air base in Ilopango, El Salvador. It was secretly used to
run guns, ammunition and supplies to the Contra mercenaries attacking
Nicaragua. (6) Why Walker was chosen to head the OSCE verification
mission in Kosovo remains to be seen, but it is clear that by speaking
before the facts were known, he guaranteed that Washington's version of
what happened in Racak became the official version.

Now let's see if the threat of a "Greater Serbia" constitutes a better
justification for bombing a sovereign state and intervening in their internal
affairs, thus violating the U.N. charter, NATO's own charter, and
international law. Having personally been to Kosovo and Belgrade twice
over the past twelve months, I never once heard a Serb talking of
expanding their territory. On the contrary, most Albanians I met took
great efforts to explain to me why secession from Yugoslavia was the only
solution they could envision. My experience with local people thus
contradicting commonly held assumptions, I started researching where the
idea of "Greater Serbia" came from. Most Western observers usually go
back to the ceremonial speech delivered by Milosevic at Kosovo Polje on
the 600th anniversary of the famous battle fought there in 1389. It is
commonly accepted in the West that it is this speech that ignited Serb
extremism. Journalist and writer Diana Johnstone went back to the original
speech and was able to explain that this myth found its origin in an
erroneous translation of a Serbo-Croatian word : "Quoting various
sentences in which Milosevic celebrated the restoration of "unity" (the
Serbo-Croatian word Milosevic used was sloga meaning "harmony" or
"accord"), Robert Cohen (7) interprets this as the announcement of the
goal of a "Greater Serbia" that would "unify all the Serbs in one state." The
word for political unity, as in "national unity," is however not sloga but
jedinstvo. This farfetched interpretation is the only proof such an able
writer as Cohen (who apparently knows the language) is able to produce
of the alleged "Greater Serbia" project of Milosevic." (8) Moreover, if the
ethnic Albanians succeed at creating an independent state of Kosovo,
"Greater Albania" represents a much bigger threat, as it could inflame the
ethnic Albanians living in Macedonia ( 23%), and reinforce the regional
enmities between Greece and Turkey.

These two myths of the Yugoslav disaster-the brutality of the Serbs and
the threat of a "Greater Serbia"- have abundantly fed the demonization
process that the Serbian people have been subjected to over the past
decade. From a geo-political point of view one will observe that this
ongoing demonization campaign was needed to justify the foreign policies
of sanctions, ultimatum, and now of air strikes. But one question still
remains to be answered: what are the Western interests in Kosovo?
According to Michel Collon, a Belgian journalist and author who has
extensively researched the geo-politics of the Balkans, "four stakes
motivate the great powers:

1) Dominate the Balkans, a key region to control the roads of
petroleum, from the Middle East as well as from the former-USSR:
Caucasus, Caspian Sea, and Kazakhstan.
2) Dominate Eastern Europe, juicy reservoir of raw materials,
skilled labor, and of markets for exportation.
3) Prevent Russia from controlling the above resources and of
becoming a rival to the Western powers.
4) Secure military bases. With the recent installations of bases in
Albania, Bosnia, Macedonia the United States will have Southern
Europe and the former USSR under control." (9)

Recolonization of the Balkans is what this is all about. This is part of a
long-term plan, implemented soon after the disintegration of the U.S.S.R.,
to dismember the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia into smaller Republics,
easier to dominate, in which to install and secure governments docile to
the doctrines of neo-liberalism. Willing to internationalize the question of
Kosovo, ethnic Albanians hoped to find in the West a reliable partner to
support their desires to secede. Ironically, they were also giving the West
a formidable opportunity to expand its domination on a region on which
they had been seeking to install, by force or by guile, an international
protectorate. "We have completely taken over the control of the
Balkans"-writes Lee Hamilton, a former US Congressman- "U.S. officials
exercise managing functions in all states of the former Yugoslavia. We are
virtually the proconsul." (10)

For all these reasons, I find the present ideology of invoking "peace" and
of positioning NATO as the "savior" of the atavistic Balkan conflicts to be
as racist as the colonial wars have been. What is worse is that it deceives
world opinion twice: by invoking "peace" and "humanitarian disaster
prevention" while at the same time bombing a sovereign country and
threatening the lives of innocent civilians. It is time that we wake up and
that we no longer let ourselves be fooled by Western propaganda and this
imperialism in disguise. The monster is not them but us who activates all
these enmities by arming their protagonists in order to justify our
interventionism. NATO and the West must get out of the Balkans before
it leads us to World War III.

As far as justification for this US lead WAR(let's call it what is); let's look back into the history of this region for a moment. This region has always been of great strategic interest for many previous regimes, going as far back as the time of the Roman Empire through various empires all the way up till and including the current US New World Order that is in effect. In WWII, the axis powers attempted to break up the Balkans into small, "easily manageable' regions; and they almost succeeded- if it weren't for the stubborness of the brave Serbian people. They stood up to the Fascist advances of Italy, when the Albanians folded; they stood up to Hitler, even after the Croatian "Ustasha's" set up concentration camps, and killed many innocent Serbs. They fought several legions of Hitlers army, and even though they were eventually overun and defeated; their bravery and sacrifices must never be forgoten.

Now, tragically, the Serbian people must once again stand up to what many see as merely the most recent in a long history of Fascist-governments (after all, is NATO a democracy??) that is attempting to subdue and break up the Balkans into "easily manageable" (US controled) mini-states.

For those of you that disagree with these views, please at least be open minded on this issue, in spite of the American Corporate/Media's attempts to subdue the individuality of the American people. The Internet is the best truth seeking tool that man has ever had(besides GOD, of course). For the first time in Human history, WE have the potential to make this world into the one that we all envision deep down inside.
Disagreements on issues are fine, and are in fact quite necessary in order to come to a conclusion that best serves ALL people's of the world.

To quote Stephen Hawking in a song on Pink Floyd's pulse album:

"It doesn't have to be like this..." but "all we have to do, is just keep talking."

Effective control of the media by the Clinton White House ensured that the prevailing opinion before the start of the NATO bombing campaign against Yugoslavia
was that the Yugoslav Government had rejected all attempts to negotiate an agreement on the future of Kosovo. The so-called Rambouillet Accords had been
offered to the Yugoslavs and rejected, leaving NATO no option but to start aerial bombardment on March 24, 1999. But that was far from the truth.

On March 15, 1999, meeting in Paris, the key parties to the problem had already reached and signed an “Agreement for Self-Government in Kosmet ”. The agreement was signed in the Albanian, English, Romany, Serbian and Turkish languages. For the Yugoslav side it was signed by Prof. Dr Ratko
Mlarkovic (Vice-President of the Government of the Republic of Serbia and head of the Republic of Serbia delegation); and Prof. Dr Vladan Kutlesic
(Vice-President of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia). For the Kosovo and Metohija side it was signed by Sokolj Cuse (Democratic Reform Party of Albanians);
Faik Jashari (Kosovo Democratic Initiative); Vojislav Zivkovic (national community of Serbs and Montenegrins); Zaynelabidin Kureys and Guljbehar Sabovic
(national community of Turks); Ibro Vail (national community of Goranles); Refik Senadovic (national community of Muslims); Ljuann Koka (national community of
Romanies); and Cerin Abazi (national community of Egyptians).

Strategic Policy has obtained a copy of the Agreement which was conducted under the auspices of the members of the Contact Group (and in light of the Contact
Group ministerial meeting in London on January 29, 1999) and the European Union. It recognizes “the need for democratic self-government in Kosmet, including full
participation of the members of all national communities in political decisionmaking”.

The Agreement offers literally everything demanded by the Kosovo community except the demand by the KLA, which drafted the so-called Rambouillet Accords
which were never discussed at all with the Yugoslav Government before being presented to it as à fait accompli two days after the ultimatum had been published as
“the final agreement” in a KLA newspaper in Albania. The Paris Agreement had been the work of moderates and would have effectively blocked the KLA terrorist
organization from achieving its goal: total secession of Kosovo and Metohija.

It gave full internal autonomy to the Kosovars; a free press; unfettered access to international organizations; an independent assembly; an independent judiciary; full
control over local (and locally-appointed) police; and much more. What was important was that this was an agreement which satisfied all main communities in
Kosovo.

With this already agreed, was there justification for a military attack?]]> Kosovo War daniela https://www.viexpo.com/kosovo-war/archive-through-may-10-1999/paged/2/#post-3411 https://www.viexpo.com/kosovo-war/archive-through-may-10-1999/paged/2/#post-3410 Sun, 09 May 1999 22:35:00 +0000

I'm sorry this isn't Kosovo related, but I'm tired of the Serbs throwing it up in my face.]]> Kosovo War guido https://www.viexpo.com/kosovo-war/archive-through-may-10-1999/paged/2/#post-3409 https://www.viexpo.com/kosovo-war/archive-through-may-10-1999/paged/2/#post-3408 Sun, 09 May 1999 21:17:00 +0000 http://www.nativesense.com/tribelist.htm]]> Kosovo War guido https://www.viexpo.com/kosovo-war/archive-through-may-10-1999/paged/2/#post-3408 https://www.viexpo.com/kosovo-war/archive-through-may-10-1999/paged/2/#post-3407 Sun, 09 May 1999 20:22:00 +0000 Kosovo War mom https://www.viexpo.com/kosovo-war/archive-through-may-10-1999/paged/2/#post-3407
