-Caveat Lector-
What hath Milocevic wrought? Since taking power 12 years ago,
he's accomplished a great deal for his people. He's started
and lost four wars. He's overseen the total breakup of the
old Republic of the Southern Slavs, 'balkanized' into its
constituent components. He's seen Serbs expelled from those
breakaway states by the hundreds of thousands, seen thousands
more suffer from atrocities at the hands of vengeful non-Serbs
in retribution for the atrocities of Serb soldiers and militias.
He's given the remaining Serbs a land that's shrunken, shattered,
impoverished, emasculated, isolated, reviled; its infrastructure
destroyed; its fields and waters poisoned; its literati purged;
its role as a regional power minimized. He's fucked the Serbs.
Could one man be this incompetent, all on his own? Was he
driven only by a greed for power, to transform himself from a
communist aparatchik into a suicidal nationalist? Or has he
achieved his goal: the denaturing of Serbia? Who does he work
for, really? Whose interests are served by turning the Balkans
into a swarm of microstates; by inserting Mujahadin activists
and NATO soldiers into Southeast Europe; by demonstrating that
Russia is defanged, impotent, irrelevant to European affairs?
For two millennia, the former Yugoslavia was the fault line
between Western and Eastern Europe; for 3/4 of that time, the
knife-edge between Catholic & Orthodox Xianity; for 2/3 of that
time, the spear-point where Islam prods Xianity. Like Palestine
where the 3 continents of Europe, Asia and Africa converge, the
Balkans are deceptively complex - often a neglected backwater,
sometime the strategic bone of contention between multiple
forces. Events there are not just of local concern, they echo
and reverberate around the world. Players there become global
actors. Who fed Milocevic his script? Who directed the play?
Milocevic, take a bow. You've played your part superbly.
