WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a prelude to war! Dear Brigade, What follows is a very powerful letter sent by Stella Jatras to her American friends of Serbian descent. I am taking the liberty to ask all of you to not only read it, but forward it on to ALL Americans - everywhere. Thanks Brigade, and thank you Stella! For the Cause, Linda ----------------------- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Stella L. Jatras) Sent: Monday, April 17, 2000 12:55 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Fwd: IT'S TIME TO CHOOSE! Dear Serbian Friends, I want to apologize in advance to those of you who may chastize me for getting too political in this message. To you I say, if we had paid more attention in the first place to which politicians we put in office we might have avoided the tragedy that has befallen the Serbian people. On March 25 of this year, my husband George and I attended the Reform Party of Virginia convention. The main speaker was Pat Buchanan. I am bringing this up because a friend who was in attendance asked, "Where are the Serbs? There should be Serbs here!" I couldn't have agreed with him more. Early immigrants to America of Greek and Serbian descent, as well as others of the Eastern Orthodox faith, traditionally belonged to the Democrat Party. They believed that the Democrats were for “the people.” Today, many of those people and their descendants have become Republicans as times and perceptions of party goals have changed. However, many people, such as my husband and I, are deeply concerned about the role of both political parties in the disgraceful and illegal war our country waged against Yugoslavia and the Serbian people. Although we are not Serbian, we have common cause with our Serbian Orthodox brothers and sisters, we see the future danger to Greece, we see our country moving toward conflict with the Russians and we see the sovereignty of our nation being sold to the highest bidder for the sake of “the bottom line” and the New World Order. The time came when we asked ourselves who, and which party, shares our concerns. The answer was discouraging: Neither of the major parties. While Clinton, Albright and Wesley Clark were illegally destroying Serbia, the leaders of the Republican Party were either supporting them or standing back without protest. Now we are in the campaign to decide who will be the next President of the United States. Will the person you support reverse what has been happening in the Balkans, or will he continue the current policies? Just as my husband and I made a choice, you must now make a choice also. We look upon ourselves as “recovering Republicans.” It was a tough decision but we have made a commitment to (1) get the Reform Party on the ballot and in the Presidential Debates, and (2) get Pat Buchanan elected as President of the United States. We can’t do that unless you join us. If you truly believe in your hearts that you want justice for the Serbian people, the ONLY candidate who has had the courage to speak of the injustices being committed against them and of their suffering is Pat Buchanan. The candidates for the Democrat and Republican Parties, Al Gore and George “Dubya” Bush supported US-led NATO bombing of the Serbian people. Both parties believe that sanctions should be continued even after Slobodan Milosevic is removed from office, voluntarily or involuntarily. Leaders of both parties want to continue punishing the Serbian people claiming that Serbs have relinquished any rights to govern Kosovo because of alleged atrocities perpetrated against ethnic Albanians. For those Serbs who belong to the Democratic Party, you have been betrayed. For those Serbs who belong to the Republican Party, you have been betrayed. You owe neither of these parties any loyalty. I feel the same as an American of Greek descent because I know that both Gore and Bush are pro-Turkish and when the time comes, both parties will sell the Greeks out just as they did the Serbian people. The choice is now yours. Do you want the Serbian people to continue to be punished by both parties, or do you want a candidate who owes loyalty to the American people, who won’t send our young soldiers into illegal or Quixotic misadventures in quest of global hegemony by the New World Order? Do you want a candidate in the Presidential Debates who will question our disastrous foreign policy, or do you want to hear back and forth accusations about who is or isn’t issuing “attack ads.” Isn’t it time for the American people to have a better choice than Tweedle Dumb or Tweedle Dumber? Remember, when you vote for the lesser of two evils, you still get EVIL! Don’t listen to the spin artists who say, “Don’t throw away your vote. He can’t win,” or, for you Republicans, “Your vote will benefit Gore.” Remember, about fifty percent of the eligible voters don’t vote. Many are disinterested; many are disillusioned with the system. Many believe that the differences between the two major parties are only superficial and matters of degree; they're really two wings of the same bird. The Reform Party offers a different choice. If Buchanan can tap into that fifty percent of non-voters along with what he takes from both the Democrats and Republicans, he may surprise the nay-sayers, just as Ventura did in Minnesota. In any case, it comes down to supporting the candidate who best represents your beliefs, values and interests. Pat Buchanan is on the right side of the Kosovo issue not because he’s pro-Serbian; it’s because he’s pro-American and pro-justice and because he understands foreign policy and the role America should play in the world. He believes that the American military’s job is to defend this country and its interests, not be the muscle for the New World Order. His opponents know only what their handlers tell them or what they think will play well in the polls. In 1995, Pat Buchanan wrote a letter to every Senator which said: “In my judgment, the U.S. is making a mistake in intervening and taking sides in a [Bosnian] civil war....[it is] 1914 all over again! – this is what we are inviting.” If only they had listened. Few people actually realize just how close we came to World War III when General Wesley Clark ordered British forces to bomb Russian troops who had entered Pristina first. Thankfully, British General Michael Jackson refused the order and remarked, “I’m not going to start WWIII for you!” For your information, I personally handed Pat my article, “An Open Letter to General Michael Short,” just before he was to give a speech in Afton, Virginia. Less than thirty minutes later, in a speech to the Virginia Reform Party, Pat referenced my letter. If you have any doubts where Pat stands regarding Serbia, please read the following excerpts from Pat Buchanan’s “Toward a More Moral Foreign Policy.” ----------- Toward a More Moral Foreign Policy by Patrick J. Buchanan After smashing Serbia with our 78-day bombing campaign, we now quarrel with our NATO allies over how severe sanctions should be. The Clinton-Albright preference is to block all assistance in removing toxic war debris and bombed bridges from the Danube, and to deny the Serbs heating oil in coming the brutal Balkan winter. This immoral policy shames us as a people. We are putting old men, women, and children under a sentence of death for failing to do what NATO itself could not do: overthrow Slobodan Milosevic? Moreover, as the London Economist writes: “Isolation has helped [Milosevic and Saddam] to stoke paranoia, justify repression and escape responsibility for their people's suffering. In Iraq, and to a lesser extent in Serbia, sanctions have ruined the liberal middle class and spawned gangster elites. The poor, meanwhile, cannot think beyond the struggle to keep alive....” Among my first acts as President will be to declare an end to all sanctions on the sale or transfer of U.S. food, medicine, or goods essential to a decent life or a civilian economy now in force against Cuba, North Korea, Iran, Iraq, Libya, Myanmar, Sudan, and all the other targeted nations of U.S. sanctions policy. I count myself a patriot. But if all this Beltway braying about our being the "world's indispensable nation" and "only superpower" grates on my ears, how must it grate upon Europeans, Russians, and those peoples subject to U.S. sanctions, because they have failed by our lights to live up to our standards? ... Once again, it’s time to choose. ------------- Now, it’s your turn to choose. Contact your state Reform Party representative whose name and email can be found on the following websites: http://www.buchanan.org http://www.buchananreform.org Once there, click on "contacts" or "network" to find the contact in your state. Get involved. The campaign needs help in petition drives to get on the ballot in all 50 states. After you’ve found the contact for your state, click on “Return to Home Page” to get all the latest news about the candidate. Also, write to your representatives in Congress and demand the Reform Party candidate, whose campaign is being financed by your tax dollars, be part of the Presidential Debates. Our future, the future of our children and the future of our country may depend on what you do this year. Yours truly, and your friend, Stella L.
