Rush has finally focused on the Kosovo problem

Finally!!! Rush has finally focused on the problems with and in Kosovo. For some of us, we have been screeming about this since April of 1999. Before you decide to jump all over me for any Rush comments, he has almost never spoke about the aftermath in Kosovo. Sure at times he has spoken poorly about the Kosovo operation, but I can't ever recall him saying that we had choosen the wrong side. The question is going to be if he actually goes more in depth or if this is going to be it???

the US constitution forbids the US from being any kind of religious based state.

No the Constitution forbids congress from making any law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof. The Declaration of Independence clearly states that we are a God believing country and that our rights come from God. Since most of the founding fathers were Christians they were referring to the Christian God (A point well proven in the writings of the founding fathers themselves).

Yugoslavia didnt exist until Tito put it together after World War II.

This is plain wrong.

So its been a country for 86 years, whoopdie do! God I was only off by 27 years. Most countries in Europe have long linages. England, France, Spain are not twentieth century creations.

If the constitution says you cant establish a state religion (like England or Iran) and you cant prohibit the free exercise of any religion, than what is your argument? Moslems can point to the same reference to God in the Declaration and say of course, Allah.

Name these Christian principles upon which this country is based and show how secular WEstern society doesnt have these same values. You might say the Declaration was anti-Christian in that the Christianity of that day believed in the Divine Right of Kings to rule.

You are so full of crap. Now I don't think you were ever over there. You lies are too transparent. Zeljko Raznatovic is not a Serb, he was a Bosnian Serb and now he is dead! He and his tigers were Bosnians you idiot! He was never within Kosovo during the whole operation.>>

I was there for years. Thank you very much.

Arkan was a Serb, perhaps the purest epitome of the Serb Nazi. During the war, he was IN Bosnia carrying out ethnic cleansings, mass executions, and a load of assassinations before going back to Belgrade at the end of the war to escape getting sent to the Hague. There he remade himself (like his almost-but-not-quite mirror image Naser Oric) to become a gangster. When the war started in '99 he reorganized his Tigers to go into Kosovo and they ran rampant for a couple of weeks, then were withd rawn when his sponsor (Milosevic) discovered that he was bad publicity.

He was assassinated in a nightclub in Belgrade where he and his wife, the nightclub singer Tsetse (or whateverthehellhernameis) were partying before some messenger from Slobo sent him to the Great Beyond.

The thought that Arkan was "Bosnian" is laughable to the PIMP level. He was a Serb. He wanted "Serb" territory in Bosnia Muslim free, he wanted free fridges from Muslims, and he wanted to kill as often as he could. Which he did. And now he's not having to worry about snow removal problems. Good riddance.

News to Dave S, I'm not a Serb. I don't even personally know any Serbs. What I do know is the truth and history which are one in the same. As far as history is concerned from your inaccuracies, you have a lot to learn about the truth. And you can't handle the truth!!!

How many bodies constitute genocide? >>

1% of a country's population massacred and deported in three days is "genocide" under the Genocide Convention which the US signed.

Think of it as Building (National) Socialism in One County.

Also, how are we justified in killing civilians by indiscriminant bombings of cities based upon erroneous information about a "genocide"?>>

There's a radical difference between unintentionally bombing innocent civilians while pursuing military targets and tying the hands of prisoners of war behind their backs and blowing their brains out one at a time at point blank range with pistols. Or shoving a thousand prisoners into a barn and machine gunning the occupants until all are dead. If you can't see that, you're not fit to be part of the discussion.

The joke is on you once again! He was a Bosnian Serb. Bosnian being the operative word. Thank God this real terrorist against humanity is dead. But you don't know your facts. Are you getting your info from CNN?

Where did you stay over there if you really were there? Where was the best place to have breakfast and what was their specialty? What were the names of the closest church and mosque?

Ronly Bonly Jones has made his case well from his posts that he was never in Bosnia.>>

You haven't the slightest idea what you are talking about. I was there. You CLEARLY never were.

He butchered people because he didn't believe there WAS such a thing as Bosnia. SU MA SRPSKA was his motto, his life, his hobby (other than rape and theft) and ultimately his epitaph.

Kosovar Albanian populations increased in the decade before intervention, the mass graves notwithstanding.
Serbian populations decreased over the same time period, mass graves notwithstanding.

There are no 'good' sides in that fight. It's just another leftover border from the fall of the Ottoman Empire. We had not stake in that fight. Period.

The closest mosque to where I lived was the Saudi-financed, exceedingly cheezy Grand Mosque not far from the city marketplace (and two blocks from the town's only mall) off of the Juzhnaja Magistrala in Tuzla. The Saudis paid $100 million to build a grand mosque in Tuzla but refused to spend the money to build factories. The Bosnian Muslims, in their grand style, stole about 90% of the money, built a silly looking double spired box with a dome, and spent the rest on apartments, factories, hotels, and nightclubs. There is a Church of St. Michael's, I believe, in downtown Tuzla, where the Eparch of Tuzla-Zvornik used to hold liturgy before he fled to palacial new digs in Bijeljina.

I forget what the "favorite breakfast" is called, but it was a sort of a meat pie in the form of a Danish swirl; my landlord used to make it and we'd have some, along what he called "Bosnian coffee" (what the Serbs called "Serbian coffee" and the Croats called "Croatian coffee" and the Americans called "Turkish coffee") in small cups with cream and sugar, before I went to work in the A.M. I drove through the tunnel north of town to Eagle Base to work every day.

Sometimes I took the southern route and passed over what we called "Route Zero" to the southern entrance to the post near Zivinice.

Satisfied?

Didn't think so.

Sure we did. The whole point of the fight was to get rid of a genocidal Nazi dictator named Slobodan Milosevic by humiliating him in front of his own people. We succeeded.
