“You may be missing the point that what was a huge outcry within the EO community never was heard by the rest of the world.”
I didn’t get the impression that UC was asserting that the Orthodox world was screaming bloody murder about Kosovo (which it was, everywhere including here in America) but Americans didn’t know about it because of the American media. Personally, I still think nobody cared no more than the conservatives who still support Bush and the Republicans who are voting for McCain when both of them are public, loud supporters of drug running, sex slave trading Mohammedan jihadis, care. America, under Republican leadership, has forfeited any claim to be the protector of the Christians. You know what that means, WF. It falls to Russia and mark my words, the entire Orthodox and Latin Catholic world will be behind that. I’ll bet even conservative liturgical Protestants, Lutherans for example, will be supportive of that role for Russia.
IIRC,
I screamed about the whole Yugoslave mess etc wherever I made any comments about such things . . . including hereon. I thought Klintoon was up to globalist evils there from the gitgo.
I was outraged about the Muslims getting away with torture and murder on a ‘grand’ scale with western assistance.
I was outraged at Ron Brown’s murder there and considered it murder immediately.
I suspect few on this thread doubt my ‘screaming’ capacities.
Oh yeah, Bush is just so popular among the jihadis.
The best example I can give you is the good old USA being allies with Russia during WWII, Sometimes the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
America, under Republican leadership, has forfeited any claim to be the protector of the Christians.
Now we are back to that American Exceptionalism you sneered at. You are just wrong.

Your frustration with the terrible things that have happened to the EOC has really clouded your thinking.
If your looking to Russia you need to open your eyes. They are imploding right in front of us. Their birth rates are about 1.3 per couple. The only part of their population that is growing is the muslim population. They have depopulated huge areas of Siberia.
Militarily, they are a joke. Why do you think they are so opposed to a missile shield? Could it have anything to do with the reality that the only thing they can project power with is missiles. Their training of troops is terrible. They don't have the means to transport troops anywhere. Their navy is rusting out underneath them.
The only thing Russia has is natural resources. They have no history of protecting the rights of individuals, no history of protecting the freedom to worship God. So why would you want to abandon the one super power in the history of man that places God given human rights above all else for this. Is it you long for the days when church and state were one? The days when the ruler determined the religion of the nation?
I rather compete for believers with Bible in hand and THE GOSPEL in my heart.
