I am honored to know you, Alex in Belgrade. I have posted your thoughts “Serbia Remembers” on this 10th anniversary of the NATO bombing of Serbia here in America along with the photos of today’s commemorations. To be a Serbian-American or American Serb such as I am, on such a day, is a painful thing. I love this country, the U.S.A. But I am not blind to her flawed judgments. On behalf of the leaders of my homeland, America, I apologize for our actions against the Serbian lands in the former Yugoslavia, beginning with Krajina in Croatia, through the war in Bosnia, and on through the Kosovo tragedy. I hope that one day, our two nations and peoples can come to terms with the grievous rupture of our once grand and solid alliance and that the rupture is healed. My thoughts are with you today. May God be with the Serbs always.

You have my sympathy. I have no Serbian ancestry, but have felt great guilt from the beginning of this tragedy.
I felt in the beginning this was a “Slick Willie” Wag-the-Dog thing, and felt great remorse. But after Kosovo, others are to blame and I still do not understand it.
The only explanation I have heard that sounds plausible, it the idea that the “Globalists” knew that Serbia would never accept their goal of a Global Government, they were and are Nationalist. For that I have great sympathy with the Serbs. I have read enough about their history to understand how treacherous their “neighbors” are.
I have know a few Americans who were of Serbian ancestry, and I admired all of them.
