My letter had to do with a full-page ad that McCain and Dole that was
first appeared in The Washington Post - and in my newspaper - so it had to
have gone out nationally. What angered me was the very first paragraph that said
Srebrenica was equivalant to Darfur. Considering McCain and Doles'
connections to the Albanians, this was their opportunity to let the Serbs have
it again.
This was the beginning of their ad:
In 1995, the writing was on the wall. The conflict in Bosnia was
escalating. Tens of thousands of civilians had been driven from their homes and
were trapped in places the United Nations had designated as "safe areas,"
including Srebrenica. Only a few hundred poorly equipped U.N. peacekeepers
stood between those civilians and Bosnian Serb forces. The Serbs had signaled
their defiance of the United Nations, their disdain for diplomatic overtures and
their determination to advance on the safe areas and finish the job of ethnic
cleansing in Bosnia. All the makings of a massacre were present, and, before the
eyes of the world, that is what unfolded. Eight thousand Bosnian Muslims were
systematically killed at Srebrenica, and history has judged severely those
policymakers who failed to heed the warning signs of mass murder.
"As advocates of military action in Bosnia, we will never forget those
terrible days. We remember that when the United States and its allies did
finally act, military intervention saved countless lives. And all of us pledged
anew that, should such a situation again unfold, we would do things very
differently.
"Today, the Darfur region of Sudan faces its own Srebrenica moment."
So there you have it.
Personally, I think I screwed up. I should have better
concentrated on exposing what the "safe areas," were - that of using "safe
areas" for training and recuperating mujahedine from the entire Muslim world,
gratis Iran.
Maybe someone else can pick up on that. You can send a letter
to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]. Stella
