“They are very forceful in making their opinions known. This is where the EOC has come up short.”
So if we scream louder the Protestants will hear us and tell the American government to stop siding with the Mohammedans against the Christians? Sort of the squeeky wheel gets the grease theology?
We are not discussing theology. We are discussing politics. For both of us our faith is the guiding force in our lives, but we have been discussing foreign policy.
The Serbs have gotten a bad deal for several reasons. Milosevic was an ignorant thug who had no concept of presenting his side in the media and how to elicit sympathy from the American people. The Serbs and EO in this country did a terrible job of seeing that the American people learn that the issue was more complex than some muslims being persecuted.
The American people are at heart a good decent people, so yes if the EOC and Serbs had done a better job of presenting their side of the story things may have gone differently. A good example would be the civil rights movement. When they were able to show how wrong things were the American people came to their side and change happened.
I do understand your frustration. I work with a lot of contractors from Serbia, Montenegro, Croatia and Bosnia and we do discuss these issues.
