Every time a thread comes up about Serbia I notice you are on it. And every time you post something along the lines of the above. Just to satisfy my idle curiosity where did you obtain your obviously superior knowledge of the area?
Can you correctly pronounce Stara Pazova? How about Zenica? Have a clue about Split? Ah, I knew you could. I tell you what I think, that is you obtain all your information from CNN. What I don't know is why you have such an antipathy towards the Serbs and always take the Moslem side. It seems like you and former President Clinton are simpatico, yeah?
If I have this wrong please enlighten me. All I know is what I read, and perhaps I am missing something in your posts. But I tell you, the Serbs have been and are our friends, fighting a valiant and terrible war to show us what we will be up against, and precious little thanks do they get. I don't think your posts reflect anything other than CNN talking points.
"But I tell you, the Serbs have been and are our friends, fighting a valiant and terrible war to show us what we will be up against, and precious little thanks do they get."
The Serbs have always been America's friend. This friendship was severely tested throughout the 1990s, and not just by the Clinton administration. Bush One's administration...the Media... etc. and now we have Kosovo which is an issue everyone should be paying attention to. Unfortunately, Iraq and Iran take up most of the attention these days, which is understandable. The Albanian terrorists are flying under the radar, but as always, what happens in the Balkans will have great repercussions for the future.
The Serbs should have been supported 100 percent.
Well I don't like one-sided reporting, which, as you've already noticed - since you could notice me all those times - seems to dominate any of the posted "Serbia" articles. That, and the constant apologies of (a) Serbia is innocent, only other countries acted violently; and (b) there's some sort of "co-ordinated international plot among Western countries to demonise Serbia/Serbians" in the comments section.
Yes, I have a problem with stuff like that, and will not hesitate to say so.
Hope you enjoy my future posts.
I admit to considerable ignorance on this topic. I do understand the Bill Clinton/MSM perspective that never seemed to have been challenged by the American Left. Their position was that the Serbs were practicing ethnic cleansing. Considering the source, the claim carries little to no weight with me.
I never liked the term ethnic cleansing as its meaning is unclear. It could be expulsion or murder. They are not the same thing at all. So my ears perked up when a round table of T.V. (liberal) pundits picked up the subject. After many denunciations of ethnic cleansing, one person timidly asked what did it mean? Moving or killing? No one knew. Finally one bright person said that whenever you move people, some die, so there really is no difference. That was good enough for our "best and brightest." Case closed. LOL.
