And when the Serbian army was pursuing the KLA terrorists in Kosovo, where was the vocal support from the EO Church, or your EO brethren in Greece and elsewhere in the Balkans and Eastern Europe...And here in America I heard not a whimper from any EO church and when I asked people who were EOs, they all looked at me as if to say that's their problem...

Really? There was plenty of vocal support, and that can be proven through simple research. Serbian Unity Congress sent repeated letters to the Clinton White House and the Defense Department with no avail; and the media largely ignored Serbian responses. The truth was simply "filtered out" in American media, and the Iranian-British Christianna Amanpour, Richard Holbrooke, and others were given free reign to disseminate whatever lies they chose.

That's why you didn't hear about it. It was also distorted with fabrications that turned out to be propaganda disinformation (such as VP Gore's assertion that 100,000 Albanians have been killed; to this day less than 3,000 bodies from all ethnic groups have been recovered).

No one was interested in the Serbian side of the story. In fact, Serbia's own TV station (a civilian object)was targeted by the NATO bombers because it was a source of "propaganda" because it was showing things we didn't want our viewers to see. Our media were equally biased, which is obvious from watching different channels (i.e. FoxNews blatantly supporting the Republican and MSNBC being equally blatantly pro-Democratic) I am sure an attack on CNN or Fox or any other TV station would have been termed a terrorist act.

If democracy cannot defend its moral higher ground with truth, then how are we better than others? He who is innocent should never resort to lying, and lying (such as playing bombing runs at three times the speed to make it look like the train was hit accidentally is big time lying) is an indication that we also can't handle the truth.

Where was the RCC in this whole mess. They have a big voice in the media. RC's are a sizable portion of the population.
