I don't remember any anti-war activists parading through the streets.

You missed me--and 300-500 others--marching in our area every Saturday during clinton's war! There were also much bigger demonstrations in Chicago, Toronto, etc.

Yes, we were on TV--once or twice, and only for a few seconds. Most of the time the Serb-hating media refused to cover us.

No, I did not write a letter to the editor every day. (I do have a business to run, after all.) But I was part of a group that wrote hundreds of letters to the editor. Only one or two were ever published. The Serbophobic libs and feminazis who run our metropolitan newspaper refused to print them.

Yes, I--along with many of us--lobbied our senators and representatives to stop the war. My Serbian colleagues suffered abuse and ill-treatment from the Congress-critters' aides. They thought that I--a long-time resident with an obviously non-Serbian name--would get better treatment and perhaps be more effective. But I received the same ill-treatment. After all, to a Serbophobe, only a Serb would defend Serbs, so I must be a Serb, too.

I know the feeling. "...only a Serb would defend Serbs, so I must be a Serb, too."

I was told I was taking the side of Serbs because I was Orthodox just like them.

In point of fact, I took their side because I'm an American and I knew that what we were doing was not just stupid but also criminal. What had Yugoslavia ever done to threaten us or hurt us? Nothing. And what did Yugoslavia have to match our military might? Pea shooters.
