Jared seems to think that if he can repeat the word <coup> umpteen
billion times, that somehow that can trump the reality that Milosevic
became an unpopular head of state. Examining the reasons for why
that was so, might detract from his ability to maintain a self righteous
hysteria.
Other contributors have been able to maintain balance enough to examine
why the Sandinistas made a similar miscalculation to hold national
elections midst a United States war of aggression . The Sandinistas
also miscalculated the popularity of their own power during the
onslaught of US imperialism. It turned out that the Sandanistas had
made more enemies than they had realized.
But the Sandanistas were relative saints compared to Milosevic and his
clique. Jared woud like us to pretend that Milosevic was neither
corrupt, nor played to Greater Serb nationalism at the expense of less
powerful ethic groups. All of that is pure imperialist propaganda
according to Jared's take on reality. We are to believe that
Milosevic lost power because he was a pussycat!
Truth be, Milosevic sank Yugoslavia because of his misleadership, and
the misleadership of the clique of hacks he headed. It was the
sorriest lot of incompetents since Stalin went up against Hitler.
The only force that Yugoslavia had to resist the imperialist effort to
split and partition the country was internationalism. Instead,
Milosivic made himself synonymous with Serbia. And within Serbia
proper, he became synonymous with bureaucratic cliquism and corruption.
Coup, coup, coup, Jared? Or was it just that the Yugoslav nation
didn't want to be pummelled further while under the misleadership of a
rotten scumbag, Stalinist hack?
