Problem: The U.S. and Serbia are locked in a diplomatic battle over how to get Kovacevic back to upstate New York to face American justice.

Solution: Give them Gen. Wesley Clark, no security, no strings.

It amazes me that the most significant war action during the Clinton years was carried out against our Christian Serb allies in support of Muslim Albanian terrorists. Interesting flip side to say the least. The Serbs were not faultless but they were certainly not a threat to us and though their methods were harsh they are attempting to turn back the Muslim hoards who had a very bad habit of trying to institute Islamic law and burning churches and such. Kosovo is now reported to have become a hot bed of radicalism even after the US held the line for them.

Clinton lied, Serb civilians died.

"What America did was not necessary. Everybody here feels the same way."

Many Americans feel the same way. I'm disgusted that my party didn't object more strongly to Clinton's policy.

Atrocities were carried out by all sides in that conflict. I do not wish to minimize Serbian ones or entirely ignore as does the world the terrorist actions of Albanians and Muslims in the area. Do you think that Muslims were the innocent victims of Serbs who just up and decided to eradicate them? There was nothing that justified our attacks against Serbia. Millions died and are dieing in Africa and we do and did nothing. I still think what we did was wrong where Serbia was concerned and what did it gain us? Not a thing.

The Serbs haven’t been pussified yet by the multicultural PC crowd. And they know very well what the muslims are up to.

Typical, all things considered, and wrong as always.

Now for the reality: Serbia disciplines diplomats accused of helping crime suspect flee US

“It amazes me that the most significant war action during the Clinton years was carried out against our Christian Serb allies in support of Muslim Albanian terrorists”

The Serbs were also killing christian croations.

The justification at the time was that Clinton felt he was preventing another genocide - and he oftened referred to how the assassination in Sarajevo started a world war.

If memory serves me correctly, the dems were falling all over Clinton’s bravery in preventing bloodshed - protecting innocents from an aggressive dictator.

That same thinking didn’t - however - carry over to the situation in Iraq.

You mean the same Clinton who stood by and did nothing while a real genocide was happening in Rwanda?

The Serbs haven't even issued an arrest warrant yet even after recieving a formal request to return him to the US.

They are looking for Kovecevic about as hard as they are searching for Ratko Mladic.

“I’m disgusted that my party didn’t object more strongly to Clinton’s policy.”

Are you also disgusted that your party has continued to pursue that policy or is it OK for the Bush Administration to recognize and finance and protect a Mohammedan, white slaving, drug running, human organ selling, Christian church destroying, terror statelet in the Balkans?

BTW, among the biggest financial backers of McCain are the KLA Mohammedans and their Albanian fellow travelers here in America.

From the article you posted: "Serbian authorities are awaiting more information from the United States before issuing an arrest warrant for a Serbian basketball player charged in New York with beating a college classmate to near death, the public prosecutor said Thursday."

So you've proved that they haven't issued a warrant yet while OJ Simpson walks around a free man?

Wasn’t that Wesley’s baby too?

And Christian Croatians have a tradition of massacring Serbs, most recently during Operation Storm, as proved by Canadian troops under NATO command. Your point was?

"There was a fight and the Serbian guy was tougher,"

Pick on someone you know you can kill. The law of the jungle. Keep it out of the U.S. . We have enough home grown animals.

no argument from me there.

My point? It would be a mistake to characterize the conflict as christian vs. muslim.

The same tribal conflicts have existed for centuries.

muslim vs. christian.
croat vs. croation
then throw in the communists - fascists - ustasi.

It’s a brew of indecipherable hatred where no one admits fault from their own group and points their fingers everywhere else.

I bet their worse than the middle easterners.
