Kosovo

Factual Questions

For the lazy amongst you, the page’s title is ‘Articles Written When Kosovo Was Not Famous’. It compiles newspaper articles from the 1980’s and shows, very clearly, that the Kosovan Albanians (as a group) are far from the innocent victims as portrayed in the western media. Apparently the first press appearance of the term ‘ethnic cleansing’ was to describe Kosovan Albanians’ actions toward Kosovan Serbs. It’s eye-opening reading.

Sorry, I forgot the UBB code :slight_smile:

I really don’t know if NATO (read U.S.–my point of view, and I can’t help it) should be in Kosovo any more than they should have been in Bosnia. My gut says no.

  1. The real criminals are off limits. The postors up on all the camps I’ve been to have their pictures and names and say in big bold letters that you are not to kill them or take them into custody unless they surrender or attempt to enter a camp, to avoid escalation.

  2. If the real criminals “mysteriously dissapear” then it will just add support to the propaganda they put out.

  3. Bombing a destabilized country will not restabilize it… The only way bombing would help is if we bombed all the radio stations, tv stations, and printing presses instead of just the factories. In the US, we find that idea justifiably abhorrent, so that’s not going to happen.

  4. We really didn’t accomplish anything in Bosnia. The Bosnian Serbs finally figured out that the Muslims were not launching a Jihaad (sp) and refused to help the slaughter any more. Nato just took credit for it. (A Muslim woman with a Serb late-husband told me that. I respect her point of view on it.)

The only reason I say “I really don’t know” is that I don’t seem to get the whole story from the news. From what they are putting out, it is the same story as in Bosnia. Also, my opinion should be taken with a few hundred grains of salt, considering it is my friends going there. (end of disclaimer)

Oops, typo, who would go there (they aren’t expected to soon).

Serbia and it’s government are a poisoned nation, who needed the force of NATO to force them into coming to terms with who they are and what they do.
Sebia led the evil empire of Yugoslavia and had a stranglehold on the other nations that were forced to join (Croatia, Slovenia)
the Serbs annexed Kosovo in the eighties, and any actions the Albanians took against the Serbs were out of retaliation or defense.
Look up the greatest English historian at the moment, Professor Keenan or something, and he will completely agree.
The Serbs and their people are the nazis of the nineties.
NATO is giving them a dose (albeit small) of their own medicine.

Stand down, Ivana. Just the other day, the major international news guys admitted that they were inflating the number of casualties, refugees, etc, by an entire order of magnitude. The excuse was that numbers like 1 million refugees and 100,000 dead were based on “very preliminary numbers” that were off by many times. This was on my evening news, BTW. Clinton and the NATO people were (incorrectly) trying to make this sound like the Holocaust, because they needed to drum up support for the war.
