A few points:
1. When you use language like "one very ugly demented Jewess" you are crossing the line into hardcore anti-Semitism, in my opinion. What do you hope to accomplish with this kind of language, other than to marginalize yourself and to undercut your message?
2. As I recall, Albright apologized for the remarks she made about the effects of the embargo. Her original statement was appalling, to be sure -- she appeared to be justifying large-scale genocide against Arab children.
3. Don't we need to give the opportunity in this world for people to change their minds, to reform, to improve their attitudes and thinking?
I hardly want to apologize for everything that Albright has said and thought -- she, along with Sandy Berger, William Cohen and other Clintonites, bear a large responsibility for the Iraq War that has been
conducted by the Bush administration. But I think she deserves better than to be attacked with anti-Semitic abuse. If she is saying more sensible things about Iraq now than she was before, perhaps she should be encouraged in that direction.

"DA BULL"
By Bob Djurdjevic
PHOENIX, Feb. 9 - It is not known if Madeleine Albright, the newly-
confirmed Secretary of State, has paid much attention to American
pro-sports. So the Chicago area phrases - "Da Bears," "Da Bulls"... -
popularized on the Saturday Night Live show - may be lost on her.
Nevertheless, Albright still managed to produce "Da Bull" as if she
were a Chicago native.
During the first week of February, faced with irrefutable evidence
presented to her by the Washington Post that she was of Jewish
heritage, she said that "all this was a major surprise to me."
Meanwhile, while Albright's "surprise" - Alzheimer-type at age 59,
or feigned, O.J.-type - has caused some gut-wrenching reactions
among the Jewish-Americans, it drew smirks and chuckles among the
people who knew her father and the Korbel (her maiden name) family.
The Korbels lived in Belgrade, Serbia, between 1936-1938 and 1945-
1948.
When asked recently if he knew that Albright was of Jewish heritage,
a Belgrade university professor replied: "Of course, I know
that. 'Everybody and his uncle' in Belgrade knows that."
Except, it seems, for Madeleine Albright herself. And the gullible
American media which are yet to print any details about Albright's
stay in Belgrade. So "Da Bull" flourishes...
By contrast, here is what this writer wrote on Feb. 4 - the day
before he saw the Washington Post or the New York Times stories
about Albright - to a media editor in Washington, DC:
"...In the meantime, thought you may be interested in the enclosed
letter (about Clinton and Albright letting down a Marine beaten by
Milosevic's police) which I sent today to all U.S. Senators and
Congressmen who have e-mail addresses.
I also thought that it was quite disgraceful for Madeleine Albright
suddenly to 'discover' her Jewish heritage today, when this was
commonly known by everybody who knew her family, who moved from
Czechoslovakia to Belgrade, Serbia, in 1936 partly to avoid the
Nazis' persecution.
Which is why I thought that she had deliberately withheld that
information from her "official bio," maybe so that she would not
have to explain that she got to go to school in Serbia, or that her
father (a former Czech ambassador in Belgrade) was a great
Serbophile.
Now that she admitted her Jewish background, plus that she was
raised a Roman Catholic before becoming an Episcopalian, my... she
may be only the second U.S. government official after Clinton to
qualify for my 'Nothing-nothing' liberal nirvana award. Heck she is
half way there now! With three religions in her bag already, she
only has to convert to Islam, Buddhism and the Orthodox Christianity
and she'd be a model of a liberal nihilist-globalist - Ms.
Halfbright Nothing, 'citizen of the world,' who believes in
nothing." [smiley face] (except money and power).

As more details about Albright's character emerged over the
following several days, her lust for money and power, and her
disdain for her own heritage became even more evident.
On Feb. 25, 1994, the mayor of Letohrad (a Czech town from which the
Korbel family hails) wrote to Albright that her Jewish father came
from this small Bohemian town, and that her grandparents and other
close relatives had died in Nazi camps, the New York Times reported
from the Czech Republic on Feb. 7:
"...Other extensive details of Albright's family are then related by
Silar and other people in the town, including how Josef Korbel and
his brother Jan later studied in Prague; how Josef Korbel's sister
married a man named Rudolf Deml; how the Demls then had a daughter
named Dagmar -- Madeleine Albright's first cousin -- who went to
England "before the Nazi occupation", the NYT reported. "If she ever
received and read this material, the details about her cousin Dagmar
must have been particularly compelling. As a young girl - she was
born in 1937 - Albright knew Dagmar very well in London."
So how did Albright treat Dagmar, her first cousin and her childhood
chum after Maria Jana (the latter day Madeleine) became a "hot
shot?"
In two words - "like dirt."
Albright's cousin said on Thursday (Feb. 7) in an interview with the
NYT that, after various attempts to make contact, she also had the
impression that the Secretary of State wanted, for some reason, to
sever ties with her Czech family.
"Obviously, she does not want a relationship with me," Dagmar
said. "It did hurt. But I got over it. It can't be helped. I have
other relatives and many friends."
On recent visits to the Czech Republic in 1994 and 1995, Albright
made no effort to contact her cousin and did not respond to a letter
Dagmar handed to one of her bodyguards.
Dagmar's young sister, Milena, also died in WW II. At the age of 12,
also the first cousin of Albright, was killed at Auschwitz in 1944.
Similarly, the article which the mayor of Albright's home town sent
with his letter in 1994 said, "Mrs. Deml and her parents Arnost
Korbel and his wife, Olga, died in the gas chambers" -- a clear
statement of the fact that Albright's aunt and her grandparents were
killed by the Nazis.
The Jan. 18, 1997 issue of Belgrade's weekly, VREME published an
excerpt from Madeleine Albright father's 1951 book - "Tito's
Yugoslavia" In it, this distinguished Czech diplomat and a great
friend of the Serbs, according to those who knew him, described how
he handled a similar situation involving another woman who was
embarrassed of her Czech roots. It happened at a diplomatic cocktail
party in 1945 in Belgrade given by the Yugoslav communist dictator,
Josip Broz Tito: "...I was in the company of some Yugoslav generals
when my former friend (Vladimir Ribnikar - an heir to the oldest
Serbian publishing house - POLITIKA), and his Czech wife passed by."
(Earlier on in his book, Ambassador Korbel talked about how these
close Serbian family friends, dating back to his 1936-1938 years in
Belgrade as the Czech cultural attachi - the Ribnikars, used to
visit each other at least once a week, ignored him after he arrived
as a Czech ambassador to Belgrade in 1945).
"This time, they could not avoid seeing me. Yet, without a word of
welcome, she (Mrs. Ribnikar) said: 'Don't consider me a Czech
anymore. I have become a Yugoslav. I am full of the 'partisan'
(communist) spirit, and I have forgotten my Czech ancestors."
The (Yugoslav) generals were surprised by such an undiplomatic
comment. I was also ashamed. But I managed to reply: "I am sorry to
hear that. But we have in our country so many good women that we'd
be glad to let our Yugoslav friends have one of them."
Just as Albright's cousin, Dagmar, seemed disappointed but ready to
move on ("it did hurt. But I got over it. It can't be helped. I have
other relatives and many friends") - so does the ambassador Korbel's
dignified answer reveal similar sentiments. He'd be probably turning
in his grave if he were to see what has come of his daughter.
One cannot help but wonder what it is about some people that makes
them so anxious to give up their national or ethnic identity for
money and power? Is that why the Czech Republic became the darling
of foreign multinationals? (In 1995, for example, this country with
the population of only 10 million received as much in foreign
investments as did the four times larger Poland - $2.5 billion each,
and MORE than Russia, a country with the population 14 times that of
the Czech Republic).
Whatever the answer to this question, there is a more important
matter about which we, the American citizens, must be concerned
about. Madeleine Albright, alias Maria Jana Korbel, born a Jew,
baptized a Catholic, now an Episcopalian, appointed to the Secretary
of State post by a godless draft-evading President, is now in charge
of our foreign policy.
If Albright was so eager to dump her Czech roots and her Jewishness
for money and power, how can we be sure that this Secretary of State
won't do the same with the American national interests? Or perhaps
was that, in fact, the whole point and the main criterion for
selecting her for the top foreign policy post?
Maybe our ruling elites, the establishment plutocrats who decide
whom to send to Washington, only pick the people like Clinton or
Albright who "believe in nothing" except in money and power. Maybe
only unscrupulous candidates who are willing to sell out principles
and protect their sponsors', rather than our national, interests
are "good enough to serve our country" - another "Da Bull"
establishment line .
As we wrote in the Truth in Media Bulletin 96-08, 8/29/96, having
people like that "in charge of the U.S. national security is like
hiring a fox to guard a chicken coop. With the American people
inside."
