-Caveat Lector- Yugoslavia's still bleeding by John Doggett http://www.worldnetdaily.com/bluesky_doggett/19990820_xcjdo_yugoslavia.shtml Does anyone remember when NATO stopped bombing Yugoslavia? Does anyone remember NATO's bold claims about what its massive, unprovoked attack on Yugoslavia had accomplished? Does anyone remember that Clinton's "wag the dog" war in Yugoslavia started just as the Chinese spying scandal was breaking? Does anyone remember that the war ended soon after we bombed the Chinese embassy in Belgrade and sent the Chinese Communist politicians home? Does anyone care about what is happening in Yugoslavia today? Well, I care, and I'm deeply saddened that the press is ignoring NATO's "bright shining lie." I'm offended by the failure of the press to pay as much attention to the murder of Kosovar Serbs as they did to the NATO orchestrated mayhem against Kosovar Albanians. Apparently the press has bought NATO's lie that a Serbian life is not worth respecting. NATO started killing Serbs and Kosovar Albanians to stop Serbs and Kosovar Albanians from killing each other. NATO said that it couldn't stand by and let the "evil" Serbs execute Kosovar Albanians in their homes, in their fields and in their cities. NATO said that it had to destroy Serbia to prevent the Milosevic regime from using ethnic cleansing to rid Kosovo of its Albanian citizens. However, now that some Kosovar Albanians are doing all of the above to the Kosovar Serbs, NATO is doing nothing to stop it. What are the facts? Some Kosovar Albanians have executed hundreds of Kosovar Serbs in their cities, towns and villages since NATO occupied Kosovo. Some Kosovar Albanians have killed Kosovar Serbs with mortar attacks right under the nose of NATO troops, but NATO says it can't find the responsible parties. Some Kosovar Albanians executed 14 Kosovar Serbian farmers in their fields, and all that NATO could do was try to provide security for their funerals. Some Kosovar Albanians have desecrated and destroyed scores of Kosovar Serbian churches, but NATO can't protect these houses of worship either. They have murdered Kosovar Serbian priests and they have raped nuns, but NATO claims it is powerless to prevent these crimes against humanity. This is the same NATO that said its bombs, dropped from 15,000 ft., could prevent equally sad atrocities against Kosovar Albanians just a few months ago. Since NATO became the warlord of Kosovo, some Kosovar Albanians have looted and burned thousands of Kosovar Serbian homes, offices, factories, stores and farms. Since NATO sent in troops to "guarantee" the safety of the Kosovar Albanians, hundreds of thousands of Kosovar Serbs have been ethnically cleansed from their homes. All NATO has done is to make sure that the convoys of Kosovar Serbs fleeing their ancestral home get safe passage out of Kosovo. Is this the result that anyone wanted at the end of NATO's dirty little war? Is the rape of Kosovo worth the billions of dollars, thousands of innocent deaths, and 12,000 NATO bombs? Is this sad, no, tragic state of affairs worth NATO turning Yugoslavia into an ecological nightmare? Can anyone say that Yugoslavia is safer today because of what NATO did? Does anyone know how long we have extended the "Balkan sickness" of ethnic hatred because of NATO's brutality? Does anyone even care about the Balkans? Before NATO made things worse in Kosovo, NATO made things worse in Bosnia. We could have prevented the tragedy by giving the Muslims the arms to protect themselves. However, instead of doing that, both Republican and Democrat administrations allowed Croats and Serbs to partition Bosnia by force. Now, we have stationed NATO troops and hordes of "do-gooders-for-a-fee" parasites all over Southern Yugoslavia at an annual cost greater than $5,000,000,000 a year. In the process, we have turned a proud but poor region of Europe into a region of poverty pimps. If you think this is a horrible tale, and it is, it gets worse. This week, the press reports that Muslim, Croat and Serb political bosses in Bosnia have stolen more than $1,000,000,000 in humanitarian aid. It's gone. Taken, squandered and wasted. No one knows where it is and no one seems to care. However, we do know that the poor, the defenseless and the needy of Bosnia have not and will never receive any benefit from our largess. Do you know whose money they stole? They stole your money, because we Americans pay the lion's share of all international bills. Just think what we could do for our children with the money those crooks stole. Think about how many American kids could have a better day with the money that these pirates ripped off. Think about how many families could sleep easier at night with the money that they earned and the Bosnian greed lords have stolen. I ask you, have you heard any howls of outrage from the White House or Congress? Remember, those Bosnian crooks stole our money. In fact, if the press says they have proof that they stole a billion dollars of Bosnian aid, what is the real number? While we're talking about numbers, here's a number I want to see. How much did NATO's dirty little war cost America? How come neither Congress nor the press have given us that number? How many innocent people died during the war? How many "real" tanks were destroyed during the war? Oh yes, when will we start rebuilding Yugoslavia and how much will that cost us? Oh, my friends, our government has sold its soul to the devil on this one. Our government has committed the worst of sins. It has made an incredibly bad situation much worse. Generations of innocent Yugoslavians will pay a terrible price for this "wag the dog" war. Generations of Americans will share in this price through higher taxes and having to live in a less-secure world. When you think about Yugoslavia, and I hope you do, please answer this question for me: Do you think that the life of an innocent Kosovar Serb is any less important than the life of an innocent Kosovar Albanian? If you agree with me that both are equal before God, then what have we done to the people of Yugoslavia and what are we going to do to make things right?
