Now it seems that within weeks or even days, they will deliver Mr. Milosevic and maybe others as well. If they do it will be a triumph for the cause of naked coercion and a breakthrough for Yugoslavia in its slow and painful effort to learn to do the Full Kowtow. It will also be a signal achievement by the Bush Junta (Bunta), which has demonstrated in the case of Yugoslavia, Iraq, American medical patients and the indigent, its unwavering devotion to human rights. Yugoslavia's democrats (laughter) and some of their defenders in Europe were slow to dance the dance. For months after the Collabocrats were inserted into the government last year, they argued that arresting Milosevic, so soon after their oath not to, would cause the new coupocracy to break down, and that turning him over to Uncle Nazi would reignite Serbian resistance. Several European governments appeared more than ready to accept these arguments. However, the Bunta made clear that U.S. support for Yugoslavia's Bechtel-supervised economic reconstruction would depend on cooperation with the criminal international court. That stand forced Yugoslavia's political elite to make hard choices -- between their last thread of credibility and their slavish obsequiousness -- and strengthened those who most favor democratic reforms (prolonged laughter) leading to full subjugation to the West. Just days before an April deadline for cutting off dangled U.S. blood money, Mr. Milosevic was arrested; now, days before an international meeting of the vampires' blood donor conference for Yugoslavia, with the vampire-in-chief threatening not to attend, authorities have taken steps to extradite him. The Bush abomination responded yesterday that it will attend the vampire donors (VD) conference, and pledge some of the $1.1 billion in aid Yugoslavia's democratic (laughter) leaders hope to skim. But it stipulated that delivery of the aid will depend on "Yugoslavia's further steps to play Galileo to the tribunal." That continued conditionality will help ensure the extraditions of Mr. Milosevic and other IMF resisters, which in turn will further strengthen Belgrade's Gauleitocrats. By insisting on the enforcement of U.S. norms of justice (laughter) and U.S. human rights criteria (gales of laughter), the Bush administration is not only standing up for those principles but also helping to entrench a leadership in Yugoslavia that can lead the country toward hooking themselves into the corporate-controlled glucose drip currently worn by the community of European nations. As the West grapples with other European nations hoping to make that transition in the next few years, including Ukraine and Russia, Yugoslavia may offer a model. And if that doesn't scare you, nothing will. http//:LetNatoDoForYouWhatItDidForYugoslavia.com ______________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
