From: sparta [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, January 07, 2007 6:28 AM I'm resending this because I should have added the following: Remember, this is the guy who was so furious when Russian peacekeepers entered Pristina before U.S. or British troops, that he was willing to start World War III. British General Sir Michael Jackson disobeyed Clark's orders and said, "I'm not going to start World War III over you!" Clark is supported by Albanian lobbies and by Soros. Sorry this is a repeat, but this info should have been included.

A perfect example appears in the editorial ("Iran and the Holocaust deniers, Tuesday)," stating: "In Bosnia, there was ample warning that Serb President Slobodan Milosevic was prepared to slaughter his neighbors, but the world refused to act until 200,000 Bosnians were killed." The media ran with the Bosnian death toll without documentation or verification, a statistic that came from the Bosnian Muslim president Alija Izetbegovic. According to a 2002 BBC report, "Some 40,000 civilians were murdered as Serbs, Muslims and Croats fought for control of Bosnia from 1992 to 1995." Furthermore, Balkan experts David Binder, former New York Times journalist, and George Kenney, former foreign service officer at the Yugoslav desk, put the number of deaths in Bosnia at between 20,000 and 70,000, a far cry from the number of 200,000. In his 1995 book "Offensive in the Balkans," author Yossef Bodansky writes that "As early as 1992, Izetbegovic outlined a very precise and uncompromising strategic political objective for the Sarajevo regime: To get the West to defeat the Serbs and establish a Muslim-dominated state for him." Mr. Izetbegovic's Islamic Declaration also stated, "There can be no peace or coexistence between Islamic faith and non-Islamic faith political institutions... The Islamic movement must and can take place as soon as it is morally and numerically strong enough, not only to destroy the non-Islamic one, but to build up a new Islamic one." The exaggerated myth of 200,000 was part of Mr. Izetbegovic's strategy. It is past the time for exaggerations to stop and the American people to be told the truth. Perpetuating false claims of genocide takes away from real tragedies such as the World War II Holocaust and Rwanda. While the editorial continues the myth of 200,000, a real genocide is taking place today in Kosovo, where Serbian culture, language and religion are being eradicated by Albanian mobs. I leave you with the following quotes: "The gigantic campaign to brainwash America by our media against the Serbian people is just incredible, with its daily dose of one-sided information and outright lies." -- John Ranz, chairperson of Survivors of Buchenwald Concentration Camp, USA. "This organized anti-Serb and pro-Muslim propaganda should cause anyone believing in democracy and free speech serious concerns. It recalls Hitler's propaganda against the Allies in World War II. Facts are twisted and, when convenient, disregarded." -- Yohanan Ramati, director of the Jerusalem Institute for Western Defense.
