I am English, but not military.
Yugoslavia was an artificial state created after a number of wars, and recently kept intact by a communist, Tito, as a member of the communist block. As conditions changed after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the participating statelets, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia, Kosovo, and Montenegro sought to gain independence one by one.
The Serbs under Milosevic used military and paramilitary force against them all, including the shelling of cities, ethnic cleansing etc.
Milosevic also repressed political opposition in his own country, including assassination of his opponents, and imprisoned the man who is now the freely elected president of Kosovo.
Whilst Milosevich was ruler of Serbia, the Balkans experienced nothing but and atrocity, since he was removed there has been nothing but (relative) peace.
As to the interview of Pastor Bigler, I repeat that this is pro da.
I could go right through it but I will just ask one question.
As to his central point that the prison camps were fabricated, he says he heard it from some journalists. Why did he not go there, where are the photographs, where is the video?
He says he had an open mind, but apparently never met any Kosovans who represented the other point of view. One of them was so keen to communicate with him they sent him a long fax, but he belittles them on the strength of a Serbians claims.
There are no hard facts in this interview, only perceptions and hearsay, and dare I say it, spin.
By your friends shall we know you. For those that know British politics, the names of the Members of Parliament at the event sponsored by Balkanpeace reveal that it is nothing more than a pro communist, anti Nato, anti American organisation.
If Pastors always tell the truth, what about Jesse Jackson?
