Those were sorely oppressed peoples long before America got involved.

To put their persecution off on McCain and Biden is terribly near-sighted, Kolo. Come on now.

The Clinton administration was no friend of Serbian orthodoxy, and I strongly opposed his policies in Bosnia/Kosovo, even though active duty at the time, but I NEVER attributed Muslim oppression to him. That was going on long before he got on the scene.

“Those were sorely oppressed peoples long before America got involved.”

Interesting response, Padre. It reminds me of the old timers years ago at the courthouses who couldn;t understand why the courts were making such a big deal of domestic violence. After all, it had been going on forever!

“To put their persecution off on McCain and Biden is terribly near-sighted, Kolo. Come on now.”

They are both presently in the government and, along with Bush bear the responsibility for the foreign policies of the government. What people like that man Clinton or that man Nixon did in the past is important to remember but neither of them are presently involved in running for anything.

“The Clinton administration was no friend of Serbian orthodoxy, and I strongly opposed his policies in Bosnia/Kosovo, even though active duty at the time, but I NEVER attributed Muslim oppression to him. That was going on long before he got on the scene.”

Indeed, that oppression in Kosovo had been going on pretty much since WWII and of course prior to the Serbian War of Independence from the Turks. The difference now, and under Clinton after the bombs stopped falling, is that as a matter of American foreign policy, the American taxpayer subsidizes it and American troops defend it.

The truth, Padre, is that it would never happen if it were evangelical protestants the Mohammedans were killing. As it turns out, for the past 7 years evangelical protestants have been cheering on the present Administration as its actions destroy Christian communities. Now tell me, Padre, what are Orthodox Christians and Roman Catholics who know what is happening to those Eastern Christians in communion with the Pope in the ME, supposed to think about that? What are we supposed to think when this Palin woman starts attributing to God a plan for this war or Bidan and McCain embrace Islamic terrorists?
