Honor and Dishonor
Llewellyn H. Rockwell, Jr.

What can be said about those public figures who enlisted in the war effort
against Serbia, defended the indefensible, celebrated this destruction, and
even called for more? They belong on a roll of dishonor, and here is a
start:

[NYC Republican]

Your whole post is a disgrace. Labeling all Kosovars as terrorists is disgusting... The Serbs' blood lust, land grab caused over 200,000 deaths in the region. They needed to be stopped, as it averted countless thousands more deaths...

The assertion that Klinton may have had ulterior motives is totally plausible, and I despise the Klintons and Clark, but this thread is pure and unadulterated BS, just another way to show off your racist view- i.e.- all Muslims worldwide are terrorists.

Again, a disgrace. Would all of those Senators/Congressmen/other well-known figures have supported the war in favor of terrorists? BS.

Thanks for that. It would be great if there a comparable list of America first patriots who opposed the Clinton-Blair fiasco.

A couple of anecdotes about the Kosovo war and those who supported or opposed it and how this kinda opened my eyes. I had been a reader of the Weekly Standard before Kosovo came up. But during that conflict I saw that rag for what it is- a shameless shill for empire and the welfare state with a veneer of cultural conservatism. When a faction of Republicans was trying to stop the bombing through a legal challenge the Standard reacted violently against them. Kristol even threatened to bolt the GOP and go over to the Democrats over this fraud of a war if the GOP failed to back Clinton. When the war was over- the Standard's headline was "VICTORY". What they meant by "Victory" was that America had planted itself in yet another country and the Empire was growing. The neocon loyalty to the GOP is not even skin deep. They are parasites on the party. I have never bought a Standard since.

Another anecdote. After the war- Keyes was being interviewed by Novak and (I think) Bill Press. When asked about Kosovo he- in his usual eloquence- denounced the entire venture as a fraud and totally not within US interests. Press attacked him violently but Keyes fended him off and Novak supported him. I knew then foreign policy was going to be a divisive issue within the GOP.
