Dear
President Kostunica and Prime Minister Djindjic,
Once again, the Yugoslav
nation and the Serbian people are being subjected
to blackmail and
vilification on the part of the U.S. government and NATO.
It is time -- in
fact, it is long past time -- to say "No," once and for
all, to any and all
demands to compromise the sovereignty of the Yugoslav
nation and the
well-being of the Serbian people.
No matter what Mr. Milosevic may or may
not have done with regard to the
financial situation in Yugoslavia, any
attempt to arrest him will be, and
is
being, interpreted as another long
step on the slippery slope toward
selling
him out to the Hague "Tribunal."
This sudden urgency to arrest Mr.
Milosevic
in time to meet the shameful
ultimatum of the U.S. government is, all too
clearly, a sell-out, in return
for the promise of a pathetically small
amount of U.S. "aid" and in fear of
threatened reimposition of sanctions.
Along with the obvious fact that it is
morally wrong to sell out in this
way, it is also wrong for the following
practical reasons:
1. The U.S. government has scarcely any genuine allies
any more, other than
the morally bankrupt and shaky Tony Blair regime. We do
not believe that
the
U.S. government any longer has the capability to
succeed in repeating its
crimes of two years ago.
2. Nor does it
appear that any NATO government other than that of Tony
Blair
has any
genuine interest in stirring up a crisis in order to round up more
indictees
to send to the Hague "Tribunal." Thus, even the threat of renewed
sanctions
is most likely an empty one.
3. The U.S. government has a pitifully poor
record with regard to keeping
its promises, especially with regard to "aid."
Instead of getting ready to
sell out your nation's sovereignty in return for
empty promises and
threats,
you should be demanding -- UNCONDITIONALLY --
one hundred billion dollars'
worth of reparations from the U.S. and NATO,
payable immediately and in
cash.
4. Finally, why aren't both of you
demanding that EVERYONE who has been
responsible for the use of depleted
uranium, cluster bombs, and other
criminal means of warfare against your
nation, be put on trial? Given that
the aggressor nations are unwilling even
to consider the possibility of
holding these perpetrators accountable, why do
you not insist that they all
be turned over to the Yugoslav government for
trial?
We hope the Yugoslav nation and the
Serbian people, under
your administration not slide down to the bottom of
disgrace . It is time to
resist again toward the new humiliating
imperialists aggression against the
Serbian nation.
Truly Yours
Major Gen. Kostas
