-Caveat Lector-
Yugoslavia's still bleeding by John Doggett
http://www.worldnetdaily.com/bluesky_doggett/19990820_xcjdo_yugoslavia.shtml
Does anyone remember when NATO stopped bombing
Yugoslavia? Does anyone remember NATO's bold claims
about
what its massive, unprovoked attack on Yugoslavia had
accomplished? Does anyone remember that Clinton's "wag
the
dog" war in Yugoslavia started just as the Chinese
spying
scandal was breaking? Does anyone remember that the
war
ended soon after we bombed the Chinese embassy in
Belgrade
and sent the Chinese Communist politicians home? Does
anyone care about what is happening in Yugoslavia
today?
Well, I care, and I'm deeply saddened that the press
is ignoring
NATO's "bright shining lie." I'm offended by the
failure of the
press to pay as much attention to the murder of
Kosovar Serbs
as they did to the NATO orchestrated mayhem against
Kosovar Albanians. Apparently the press has bought
NATO's
lie that a Serbian life is not worth respecting.
NATO started killing Serbs and Kosovar Albanians to
stop
Serbs and Kosovar Albanians from killing each other.
NATO
said that it couldn't stand by and let the "evil"
Serbs execute
Kosovar Albanians in their homes, in their fields and
in their
cities. NATO said that it had to destroy Serbia to
prevent the
Milosevic regime from using ethnic cleansing to rid
Kosovo of
its Albanian citizens. However, now that some Kosovar
Albanians are doing all of the above to the Kosovar
Serbs,
NATO is doing nothing to stop it.
What are the facts? Some Kosovar Albanians have
executed
hundreds of Kosovar Serbs in their cities, towns and
villages
since NATO occupied Kosovo. Some Kosovar Albanians
have
killed Kosovar Serbs with mortar attacks right under
the nose
of NATO troops, but NATO says it can't find the
responsible
parties.
Some Kosovar Albanians executed 14 Kosovar Serbian
farmers
in their fields, and all that NATO could do was try to
provide
security for their funerals. Some Kosovar Albanians
have
desecrated and destroyed scores of Kosovar Serbian
churches,
but NATO can't protect these houses of worship either.
They
have murdered Kosovar Serbian priests and they have
raped
nuns, but NATO claims it is powerless to prevent these
crimes
against humanity.
This is the same NATO that said its bombs, dropped
from
15,000 ft., could prevent equally sad atrocities
against Kosovar
Albanians just a few months ago.
Since NATO became the warlord of Kosovo, some Kosovar
Albanians have looted and burned thousands of Kosovar
Serbian homes, offices, factories, stores and farms.
Since
NATO sent in troops to "guarantee" the safety of the
Kosovar
Albanians, hundreds of thousands of Kosovar Serbs have
been ethnically cleansed from their homes. All NATO
has done
is to make sure that the convoys of Kosovar Serbs
fleeing their
ancestral home get safe passage out of Kosovo.
Is this the result that anyone wanted at the end of
NATO's
dirty little war? Is the rape of Kosovo worth the
billions of
dollars, thousands of innocent deaths, and 12,000 NATO
bombs? Is this sad, no, tragic state of affairs worth
NATO
turning Yugoslavia into an ecological nightmare? Can
anyone
say that Yugoslavia is safer today because of what
NATO did?
Does anyone know how long we have extended the "Balkan
sickness" of ethnic hatred because of NATO's
brutality? Does
anyone even care about the Balkans?
Before NATO made things worse in Kosovo, NATO made
things worse in Bosnia. We could have prevented the
tragedy
by giving the Muslims the arms to protect themselves.
However, instead of doing that, both Republican and
Democrat
administrations allowed Croats and Serbs to partition
Bosnia
by force. Now, we have stationed NATO troops and
hordes of
"do-gooders-for-a-fee" parasites all over Southern
Yugoslavia
at an annual cost greater than $5,000,000,000 a year.
In the
process, we have turned a proud but poor region of
Europe
into a region of poverty pimps.
If you think this is a horrible tale, and it is, it
gets worse. This
week, the press reports that Muslim, Croat and Serb
political
bosses in Bosnia have stolen more than $1,000,000,000
in
humanitarian aid. It's gone. Taken, squandered and
wasted. No
one knows where it is and no one seems to care.
However, we
do know that the poor, the defenseless and the needy
of
Bosnia have not and will never receive any benefit
from our
largess.
Do you know whose money they stole? They stole your
money, because we Americans pay the lion's share of
all
international bills. Just think what we could do for
our children
with the money those crooks stole. Think about how
many
American kids could have a better day with the money
that
these pirates ripped off. Think about how many
families could
sleep easier at night with the money that they earned
and the
Bosnian greed lords have stolen. I ask you, have you
heard
any howls of outrage from the White House or Congress?
Remember, those Bosnian crooks stole our money. In
fact, if
the press says they have proof that they stole a
billion dollars
of Bosnian aid, what is the real number?
While we're talking about numbers, here's a number I
want to
see. How much did NATO's dirty little war cost
America? How
come neither Congress nor the press have given us that
number? How many innocent people died during the war?
How
many "real" tanks were destroyed during the war? Oh
yes,
when will we start rebuilding Yugoslavia and how much
will
that cost us?
Oh, my friends, our government has sold its soul to
the devil
on this one. Our government has committed the worst of
sins.
It has made an incredibly bad situation much worse.
Generations of innocent Yugoslavians will pay a
terrible price
for this "wag the dog" war. Generations of Americans
will share
in this price through higher taxes and having to live
in a
less-secure world.
When you think about Yugoslavia, and I hope you do,
please
answer this question for me: Do you think that the
life of an
innocent Kosovar Serb is any less important than the
life of an
innocent Kosovar Albanian? If you agree with me that
both are
equal before God, then what have we done to the people
of
Yugoslavia and what are we going to do to make things
right?
