The real story is painfully simple.

A long time ago, the Balkans were invaded by violent Jihadists who stole children from across the region and turned them into the Caliphate’s slave army. During the occupation, Albania betrayed every other nation, and most of its population converted to Islam. Kosovo was always a part of Serbia, and had in fact, been central to the Serbian Empire, but the occupying Ottomans imposed a harsh Jizya tax on the Serbs there, driving a lot of them out, and paving the way for a mass immigration into the area by Albanian Muslims.

Time went on. The Turks lost WWI. Yugoslavia went communist, but routinely broke from Moscow on policy matters, notably refusing to join the Warsaw Pact. Communism in Yugoslavia wasn’t implemented very rigorously, which saved the country from most of the horrors experienced in Ukraine and Romania.

Anyway, a time came when Yugoslavia was weakened and began to break apart along ethnic lines (Croatia, Slovenia). The Albanians in Kosovo saw an opportunity to break out of Serbia’s control and become an Albanian puppet state, so they began to riot and burn Christian churches and ancient texts. Milosevic responded with force, in the same way we would respond if the Muslims of New York began trying to tear down the Statue of Liberty.
Clinton wanted a legacy of global change, and Middle East peace was obviously not on the cards, so he went into Serbia backed up by anti-Serb propaganda that exaggerated the actions of the Serb military and hid the grim reality of Serb Christians massacred in Kosovo. It was never a justified engagement. They had done nothing to us, but we destroyed people’s lives, and killed children, and robbed a country of its sovereign territory. Serbs are still persecuted in Kosovo today, and in greater Europe, where the same propaganda was used, shown recently by the pardoning of several Croatian military officers who had committed war crimes in Serbia.

As someone mentioned before, it was one of the worst things our country ever did. Serbs are people we could have a lot in common with, but Bill Clinton cut a wound so deep, dislike for the US in Serbia is only outdone by stronger feelings in Arab countries.

Bottom line_ Kosovo is not a real country. It’s a fake country, and if Europe destabilizes, Serbia will get their payback on the Albanian Muslims for all they have done.

I would definitely recommend:

Yugoslavia, The Avoidable War(2002)
http://vimeo.com/24454469

I saw this movie when the actual producers showed up in New York City for a selected showing. The link above has subtitles but I still have the VCR tape that I bought that night that does not. Maybe I should digitize it.

I was one of those people that used to participate pretty regularly in those threads back in the day. We used to call ourselves “The Balkans Front”! We had lots of defenders of the US war action on FR that used to make the threads somewhat combative as well.

But of course, Fusion stands out above them all. An international man of mystery, Fusion frustrated everyone on those threads!

A Super Entarde bump for all my Balkans Friends!

Dry is good. Wind is better.

It may very well be the worst.

The reason we bombed the Serbs is because they were White Christians and NATO wanted to enforce multiculturalism on the former Yugoslavia. If it was the other way around and the muslims (who are also white) were winning battles against the Christians, NATO would not have done squat. This is the only military action the U.S. engaged in where race and religion were the ultimate deciding factors, and the white Christian Serbs were the wrong color and religion for modern NATO.

A few links...

At three years of age when she was killed by a KKKlintonista/NATO bomb hundreds of kilometers from anything even remotely resembling a legitimate military target, that is, if you even assume there was such a thing as a legitimate military target for NATO at the time, Milica Rakic probably has the dubius distinction of being SlicKKK KKKlintler's youngest female victim.

The other picture of Milica which you see is this

That means that Milica has been declared a martyr of the Orthodox church. It means that Slick Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Albright, Wesley Clark and that whole crowd are going into the history books on the same page as the ****heads who burned Joan of Ark.

There is of course anyone number of internet search engines you could use, just type in ‘’History of the Balkans/conflicts’’ for instance. That would be a very good place to start. I’m sorry I can’t offer anything right off the top of my head. The history of the Balkans is very complex.So many different ethnic groups all clamoring for land and power. Serbs, Croats, Bosnians , Montenegrins and primarily two religions Orthodox Christians(the Serbs) and Roman Catholics(the Croats) and Muslims( Bosnians/Kosovars.) What you’ll soon come to see however is that there nothing is clear cut about any of the politics of the whole situation and there are no real winners or losers per se, although historically the Serbs have always caught the worst of it. It isn’t for nothing the Balkans have always been called ‘’Anus Mundi’’(’’a-hole of the world’’.

To bad the Internet was only in its infancy at the time, else the MSN lies would have been exposed.

Not really, there was a thorough discussion here about the war. Mostly against. I lurked here then joined later.

Huh? The Internet hardly existed then and mostly consisted of Prodigy and CompuServe (among others) and expensive dialup modems. You must be thinking of something else or someplace else, not Washington State in the 70s and 80s.

From our perspective there was little outside support, mostly against us - pro government and pro Treaty Indian. The MSN - then ABCCBSNBC made a big deal about getting both sides, but only broadcast the Indian side, while vilifying us.

You must understand that the vilest part took place in the years 1975-1983 and petered out in the following years when the protests became a Federal felony.

And yes you got the ‘war’ part right, as it did involve deliberate Federal violence, death, Federal imprisonment for the crime of fishing, and as far as it went a violent Constitutional Rights battle, thus qualifying in some minds as the second Civil War, or as close as one can get.

Had we had significant outside help then (even FR’s - had it existed then), the guys that died or were maimed might still be alive and hale today.

But thanks for your support. But you really haven't lived until you've been stared down by a nervous 18 year old on a lurching 80' Coast Guard Cutter manning a locked and loaded .50 cal Ma Duce pointed at you. Quite a thrill, I tell you true ...

We must be talking about different conflicts. Clinton’s attack on Serbia was during 1999 when the internet was well-established along with Free Republic. Previous portions of breakup of Yugoslavia took place in the 80’s.

Yes you are correct. I was writing extensively yesterday on the war on natural resource harvesters on another thread, and managed to confuse it with the Kosovo war in my replies. Sorry to confuse you also.

"Previous portions of breakup of Yugoslavia took place in the 80’s." The breaking up of Yugoslavia didn't start until the beginning of the 1990s - with Croatia and Slovenia going first, then Bosnia...and with the dissolution came the wars of the 1990s that were extensively miscovered by all media. ____________

I feel the same way. I could never figure out what we were trying to do.
