Today in a class of mine, >the year old Kosovo intervention was discussed and debated. And lo and >behold the same 25 kids that daily denounce my "insensitivity," >"mean-spiritedness" and "intolerance" whined that we "didn't hit the Serbs >hard enough." > >I pointed out to these kids that NATO bombs killed an estimated 15,000 >innocent Serbs and left Yugoslavia more destabilized than when we came in. I >also pointed out the little factoid about Bill Clinton's cruel policy of >keeping economic sanctions on the Serbian people unless their dying, >starving, elderly and young overthrow Slobodan Milosovec. > >Oh, and of course the more inconvenient facts that after all the talk of >"genocide," "ethnic cleansing," and a "New Hitler," the hysteriacs on the >left only have slightly over 2,000 dead Kosovars to show from Serb >atrocities. Tragedy? Yes. Holocaust? No. I also asked why the media, which >foamed at the mouth to bring destruction on Serbia, has been so silent since >the bombs stopped falling? Then there is that good stuff about pushing >relations with Russia back to Cold War levels and accidentally dropping a >bomb on a Chinese embassy, but we won't delve into that. > >The truth is that intervention in Kosovo was a waste of time and another >pathetic attempt of nation building by Bill Clinton. Under Bill Clinton we >have seen: The loss of American soldiers in the Somalia debacle. >Intervention in Bosnia. Intervention in Iraq. Intervention in Kosovo. A >planned invasion of Haiti which was skirted at the last minute, and a >pharmaceutical factory in Sudan blown up to divert attention from news of >Clinton getting Lewinsky'ed. What has any of it accomplished? Absolutely >nothing, unless of course you count the deaths of tons of innocent people as >progress. > >Not long ago the left would have been sympathetic my analysis. But times >have changed. The left has joined up with the Weekly Standard wing of the >Republican Party(those who miss the good old days of the cold war) and have >decided to endorse intervention just about anywhere for any reason. But >while the Weekly Standard's goal is "benevolent global hegemony," the left >endorses imperialism and murder in the name of "humanitarianism." The >motives of the left are always pure and righteous. After all, this isn't >about an irrational fear of Communism or the shedding of blood for oil or >for evil transnational corporations; this is about preserving "human rights" >and "social justice." > >We have a big problem when a large segment of Americans think foreign policy >should revolve around some utopian dream of nation building and >"humanitarianism." I for one don't see anything "humanitarian" about >dropping bombs on innocent civilians, but of course the left in all their >purity dismiss such silly talk. Most Americans still believe that we >shouldn't send young men and women to fight and die in a war unless a >compelling national interest is at stake. But such crazy ideas are now >roundly dismissed as "isolationist" from people who want to "withdraw" from >the world. > >The term "isolationist" is now part of the collection of political boogie >man words like "anti-Semitic," "homophobic," or "xenophobic." Wanting to >stay out of wars that are none of our business is not just wrong according >to the war coalition; it is irrational and plain evil. The obvious goal of >the "isolationists" is to see a "New Hitler" arise to persecute the masses >overseas while we just point and laugh. "Isolationism" also leads right to a >"New Munich" where the "New Hitler" will overrun countless territories and >eventually threaten the United States. That is quite interesting considering >the latest Hitler, Slobodan Milosovec can barely keep his own country >together. > >The "New Hitler" hysteria is a favorite tactic of the left since Hitler is >still an obsession for left wing militants even though he and his Nazi party >have been dead for over 50 years. Communism, which is still around today, >continues to inflict death and suffering on its people. However, the >Compassion Czars on the left fail to direct much outrage over the evils of >Communism. And while reflecting on Hitler's atrocities directed towards the >Jewish people is still a daily ritual of the left, "Uncle Joe" Stalin who >murdered many more than Hitler, is pretty much forgotten and forgiven. > >The left should stick to making themselves look like morons protesting the >IMF and World Bank instead of trying to pass themselves off as foreign >policy strategists. The loopy ideas that they and their imperialist allies >like Bill Kristol hold are dangerous and will only lead to more instability. >It won't be until we are bogged down in some remote country loosing >countless American lives in the name of "gender rights" or "ending hate" >that the left will trade back their machine guns for their tie-dye shirts >and lava lamps. And then it will be too late. > >April 22, 2000 > >Bill Barnwell is a freelance journalist and co-creator of www.thepotatoe.com Shop for Cars On-Line: http://a-albionic.com/ads/srch.html Forwarded for info and discussion from the New Paradigms Discussion List, not necessarily endorsed by: *********************************** Lloyd Miller, Research Director for A-albionic Research (POB 20273, Ferndale, MI 48220), a ruling class/conspiracy research resource for the entire political-ideological spectrum.
