Case in point is the rule of the Obrenovic dynasty in the 19th century, which brutally suppressed internal dissent and warmed to the hated Austro-Hungarians. There was also the regency of Prince Paul, from 1934-1941, where Yugoslav policy was increasingly drawn into the Axis orbit and attempts were made to introduce outright fascist rule. Fortunately, the Serbs rebelled several times in the late thirties and early fourties against this pro-fascist and pro-German line, culminating in the famous 1941 uprising by Yugoslav officers to overthrow the regency and place the young King Peter on the throne. During WWII Serbia was run by the hated Nedic collaborationist regime that was imposed by the Germans. It was a Vichyite type arrangement (although Nedic NEVER enjoyed anything like the support the Vichy regime enjoyed in France). So as you can see....Serbs have even chaffed under brutal domestic rulers whose sympathies lay more with Vienna, Berlin, and now Washington, than with their own people...Fortunately, the liberationist and egalitarian ethic of Serbian patriots - which is Roussauesque in its bourgeois variant, and nearly anarchist in its socialist variant - is so strong, and so deeply encoded in the cultural fabric of Serbian life, that it is unlikely that things can last this way without a full NATO occupation. You've got to remember, once the Balkans are fully occupied, NATO will be siting ducks ripe for the picking...here's to the day that the Serbian chetas and Partizan guerrillas rise up again! Ziveli!

This ravening but stupid beast devours chunks of its own self-respect tossed to it by Western handlers... who gleefully watch it tearing at the very heart of Serbian honour - (that quality, in Milosevic, they still respect and fear most!) - with every fresh bite. It is not necessary to be a supporter of Milosevic to recognize in him that admirable natural dignity, fearless independence and indefatigable strength of purpose everyone used to be able to take it for granted they would find in almost every Serb...
