Tom Lantos' efforts to get the United States to illegally support Kosovo's independence to create a terrorist Muslim banana republic in the heart of Europe. Because of the Clinton administration's anti-Serbian efforts aimed at supplying the Bosnian Muslims arms to fight the Bosnian Serbs, we already supported "a predominantly Muslim country in the very heart of Europe" that was never an independent nation: Bosnia. And what do we have to show for it? Osama bin Laden was granted a passport there. Jihadists were trained there and some were even taught at a special school that showed techniques used to slaughter children by incorporating bombs in children's toys. Thousands of jihadists have immigrated to Bosnia and were implicated in the terrorist bombings in London and Madrid. Finally, Bosnia is an economic black hole that has squandered billions of dollars of aid (mostly for the Bosnian Muslims) with no accountability and no societal progress to show for it. Mr. Lantos wants to create a second Muslim-dominated state that is rapidly becoming a Muslim "pure" state. Non-Muslims are persecuted daily, and hundreds of thousands of Christians have been ethnically cleansed by Albanian Muslims under the blind eye of NATO, which did nothing to prevent the barbaric "Kristallnacht" endured by Kosovo's Serbs. Americans have been slaughtered by Islamic "peacekeepers" and more than 150 Serbian Orthodox Churches and monasteries (some more than 1,000 years old) have been destroyed by Albanian Islamist fanatics. This is the kind of "Muslim-dominated" state that Mr. Lantos envisions for Europe and perhaps the world? Leaders such as Mr. Lantos need to be replaced as they are setting the stage for a far more violent future in which giving in to evil will lead to non-ending violence throughout the world. The world is not big enough for Islamist fanatics. MICHAEL PRAVICA Henderson, Nev.
