I'm sorry but this is simply another straw man. The issue isn't whether
Milosevich is a saint. Who cares? The point is you cannot build an antiwar
movement to support people you're attacking as criminals. It's a pretty
basic point. Were the Vietnamese saints? They were targets of an unjust
attack, that's all. Same here. One focuses on opposing the Imperial power.
And one uses common sense, taking with a grain of salt the various Western
media attacks, realizing that there's a lot of money available to finance
these slanders. Common sense. And a little humility, please. The point
about privatization is that obviously the Yugoslav government has resisted
because the Western media has ATTACKED them for resisting. And just
recently, the US Commerce Department advertised for a coordinator to direct
privatization of several hundred firms in Montenegro, run by Milosevich's
deadly enemies. The Commerce people promise privatization will be immensely
profitable, so there must be SOMETHING left to steal...
There is a reason that the Yugoslav government is much better than, say, the
Islamist government in Sarajevo - the reason it, it was not organized by US
intelligence using Diaspora fascists from around the world and recycling
vicious race hate straight out of World War II combined with the new Western
creation, Islamist fascism. It was based on preserving the Yugoslav ideal.
That is why there are hundreds of thousands of NON-Serbian refuges in Serbia.
Ethnic unity is the passion of Milosevich and his wife, whom, by the way,
Andrej rather disgustingly attacks. It is NOT the stance of the Izetbegovic
or the Croatian government.
(BTW - why is it OK to pour out such venom towards certain women, always
women who are attacked in the Western media as being dragon ladies?)
Yugoslavia is a tiny country. It has stood up to the biggest tyrannosaurus
and not capitulated. This had a wonderful affect on the world. The Yugo
government is not racists. They have superb relations with Libya. They
have a military alliance with China and Iraq. They have welcomed tens of
thousands of Chinese immigrants. They remain pretty damned cool in the face
of constant provocation. Not bad for a a little country that used to be a
virtual US colony run by a guy who used to be a banker in NY.
The Sainthood thing is just another of the straw men which Tony seems intent
on raising.
