In order for the Clinton Administration to justify its support for the Albanians and for the Bosnians, as well, it was necessary to demonize the Serbs, who in many ways were victims of both. In this, the Clintonians played many of the same cards the Soviet Union under Stalin played against them. In fact, the Soviet Union played the Albanian card in exactly the same way Bill Clinton did, in promoting the KLA off the international terrorist list, where they were in 1993, to the unlikely role of Balkan "Freedom Fighters."

The Serbs are not exactly saints. Neither are they any worse sinners than the
other players in the never-ending scrimmages amongst the South Slavs.

So, anyone who thinks the Bosnians, for example, did not commit multiple atrocities upon the Bosnian Serbs and Croats (and vice-versa, of course) is a fool. When it comes to atrocities against Christians, the Slav Muslims are not exactly inexperienced. They trained for centuries under their Turkish masters, who usually used the Bosnians as overseers, while the Albanian thugs in their employ did the heavy lifting.

Furthermore, the Bosnians have always done outstanding work in supporting their terrorist Muslim brothers. In particular, they have been quick to give refuge to KLA murderers, and of course al-Qaida.

The US and Britain (Clinton and Blair) were wrong to take any side in this conflict. When they took the side of the Bosnians, and then even more incredibly, the Albanians (of all people!), and began the completely unwarranted bombing of civilian targets in Serbia, they made all of us war criminals. How many Americans know, for example, that far more Serbs have been driven from their homes and made refugees than any other group in this conflict?

I am even more shamed that NATO members blame the Serbs for "trickery" in the enormous casualties caused among Albanians during the US bombing. (No use blaming NATO, we flew 95% of the missions, Britain about 3%, and the rest German, French and Dutch.)

In short, I think that as the Milosevic trial progresses, the attack on Serbia and the alliance with the KLA will prove to be one of the biggest embarassments to the US of the 20th Century.

How many Americans know, for example, that far more Serbs have been driven from their homes and made refugees than any other group in this conflict?

Really? I was unaware - why don't we take the 800,000 Kosovar Albanians, subtract the 250,000 Kosovar Serbs, and the 500,000 Serbs from Croatia, and I'll spot you the 50,000 for our refugee comparison in Bosnia?

Do you really want to stand by such an ignorant misstatement of the truth of the matter?
