National Interest ^ | 9/7/10 | Gordon Bardos

...In the somewhat intellectually perverse foreign policy salons of New York and Washington, the more ties a Balkan politician has to drug smuggling, human trafficking, and al-Qaeda, the bigger their fan club is likely to be.....

One of the best articles on the Balkans I've seen in a while.

Re the mentions in the article: the glowing Vanity fair article was on war criminal and former Kosovo Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj; the ex-Nazi and host to bin Ladin was first Bosnian president Alija Izetbegovic; and, the translator of de Toqueville and the Federalist Papers was "nationalist" Serb ex-president Vojislav Kostunica.

IMHO, Izetbegovic was never an ex-Nazi. He was a Nazi until the day that he died. And islamic “Bosnia”, KLA-run “independent Kosovo”, and Croatia are all Nazi through-and-through. Germany was de-Nazified, but these entities never were.

As for Vojislav Kostunica, Serbia would be much better off if he were in power rather than Tadic. I’m very concerned about what’s going on in Serbia now.

And I agree, but the author was referring to it literally -- Izetbegovic was a youth recruiter for the Mufti of Jerusalem's Bosnian Muslim SS Hanzar Division. Their flag:

Tell this to people 15 years ago, and they'd look at you like you were lying, nuts or "a genocidal Serb apologist", but Izetbegovic's history was an undeniable (and un-denied) fact, not even subject to debate.

And Kostunica never stood a chance, not as long as John McCain's trained lapdog Boris Tadic was in play.

So was the death’s head insignia of the SS.

If you haven't seen it, this site does a pretty good job of linking all of the Islamic problems from the Balkans to Iraq to bin Laden, all to Amin Al Husseini The WWII Mufti of Jerusalem.

What drives me nuts are the numbers of Bosnian apologists here on FR. I don’t get it.

"What drives me nuts are the numbers of Bosnian apologists here on FR. I don’t get it."

Because fascists are fascists -- and that's stronger than religion. You forget that Bosnian Muslims were "Honorary Croats" until they got their own SS Divisions.
