Bump, Ivan.

Back then (1999) I took part in an anti-intervention demonstration in Washington, D.C. Although I was completely soured by the way the left hijacked the demonstartion for their own purposes, I did meet and get to talk to a number of Serbian-Americans. Their anguish that their adopted country was doing this to their homeland was real and heart rending. I recall one man in particular. He was about my father's age, and he was holding a sign on which he proclaimed to be an ex-Partisan who had taken part in one of the rescue operations mentioned in the article above. "60 years ago, I helped save hundreds of American airmen's lives. Why are you bombing my grandchildren?" he asked me. I had no answer.

We may have choosen the wrong side in that fight. We may have been wrong to have chosen sides at all.

It was done under Clinton's presidency, which means no thought went into it.

Croatians are mostly Roman Catholic. Given your last name, you probably know that. Except for Venezuela, not too many Roman Catholics have oil.

Why did we stop the nice Orthodox Serbs from butchering Muslims? Maybe if you think about it for a while, you'll figure it out.

[crazykatz]

They did NOT butcher any muslims...there was a civil war in 1991 and the Serbs gave as good as they got and rightly so....

NO muslims or NO croats saved ANY AMERICAN pilots in WWII...NEVER, not one.

In fact, the croats were nazis...some folks say they still are...the muslims, were nazis too and.... well....9/11 showed their muslim "true love" of AMERICANS!!

SERBS SAVED AMERICANS DURING WWII...WHILEST THE CROATS AND MUSLIMS GOOSE-STEPPED ALL AROUND WITH THEIR NAZI FRIENDS!!

SERBS SAVED AMERICANS FROM NAZI CROATS AND MUSLIMS!! HUZZAH!!!!HUZZAH FOR THE SERBS!!

THE LAST SERMON OF A GERMAN CLERGYMAN

Friedrich Griesendorf, who died in 1958, was a very educated man. He was, at one time, a court clergyman for the German Kaiser, Wilhelm II (1888-1918).

After World War II, he was a pastor in the Eversburg church parish where a camp of Serbian prisoners of war was located. Before retiring, he delivered these lines to his German parishioners:

"Our country lost the War. The English, Americans, and Russians won. Maybe they had much better equipment, larger armies, better leadership. In reality, it was an explicit material victory. They took that victory.

However, here among us is one nation that won another much more beautiful victory, a victory of the soul, a victory of the heart and honesty, a victory of peace and Christian love. They are the Serbs.

We knew them earlier, some a little and some not at all. But we all knew what we did in their homeland. We killed hundreds of the Serbs, who defended their country, for one of our soldiers who represented the occupier- the oppressor. And not only that, we looked favourably when others shot at the Serbs from all sides: the Croatians, the Italians, Albanians, Bulgarians, and Hungarians.

Yet we knew that among us in the prisoner of war camps were 5000 Serbian officers, who earlier were the elite of the society and who now resembled living skeletons, exhausted and spent from hunger.

We knew that among the Serbs smoldered the belief, 'He who does not revenge is not sanctified.'

We were truly afraid of the revenge by these Serbian martyrs. We were afraid that after our capitulation they would do what we did to them.

We imagined that tragedy and visualized our children floating dead in canals, or being roasted in the local bakery. We imagined murder, plunder, rape, demolition and destruction of our homes.

However, what happened? When the barbed wires were torn down and 5000 living Serbian skeletons found themselves free in our midst, those skeletons caressed our children.

Only now can we understand why our greatest poet, Goethe, studied the Serbian language.

Only now can we comprehend why the last word for Bismarck, on his deathbed, was - Serbia.

That kind of victory is more sublime than a material victory. It seems to me that only the Serbs could win such a victory, being brought up in their St. Sava's spirit and epic poetry, which our Goethe loved so much.

This victory will live for centuries in the souls of us Germans. I wanted to dedicate my last clergyman's sermon to that victory and the Serbs who won it."

Sadly, Major Felman died in 1999....November, I believe.

[crazykatz]

I was there as well...I think I saw that sign or one like it, as well.

[CobaltBlue]

Crazy, indeed, and crude revisionism. Some Serbs collaborated with the Nazis, some Croats and Bosnians fought the Nazis.

Worse, Serbs wanted, and many still want, to "cleanse" "Greater Serbia" of "racially inferior" Hungarians, Croats, Jews, Albanians, Catholics and Muslims.

Milosovic is a war criminal. I hope he's executed.

Do you know David Binder?

No, ok he is an American jounalist who writes for the US Paper New York Times.

Read now what he writes about the serbs:

Thoughts About Serbs

Chicago - June 25, 2000

I have been thinking about Serbs for almost six decades - not every day, to be sure - but more and more in the last 30 years.

The first time I became aware of the people called Serbs was in 1942. Here in Illinois. I was 11 years old and I was already passionately interested in the course of World War II. My father was the foreign editor of The Chicago Daily News and his whole activity was devoted to the war. My brother had enlisted in the Army Air Force and my sister was soon to join the Navy. One day in the corner drugstore I picked up a comic book called War Comics and the main story in it was about the Chetniks of Draza Mihajlovic fighting the Nazis in Serbia and their bravery and self-sacrifice in battling the better armed Germans. I was dazzled. There was Col. Mihajlovic with his beard and wire-rimmed glasses. Here were people inside occupied Europe who dared for the first time to resist the mighty war machine of Hitler... not in France, not in Poland, not in Czechoslovakia, not in Holland, not in Scandinavia, but in Yugoslavia, in the Balkans. I talked with my father about those brave Serbs. Later in the war I read a bit about Tito and his Yugoslav Partisans. But it was Draza's Serbs who remained most vivid in my memory. ..."

Oh yes, I believe you, Major Felman is a disgusting liar.

And also US journalist Binder is a disgusting liar.

I believe you, because you are a Muslim Albanian or perhaps a Muslim Bosnian (full of envy), like Clinton did it.

President Harry S. Truman

"General Dragoljub Mihailovich distinguished himself in an outstanding manner as Commander-in-Chief of the Yugoslav Army Forces and later as Minister of War by organizing and leading important resistance forces against the enemy which occupied Yugoslavia, from December 1941 to December 1944. Through the undaunted efforts of his troops, many United States airmen were rescued and returned safely to friendly control. General Mihailovich and his forces, although lacking adequate supplies, and fighting under extreme hardships, contributed materially to the Allied cause, and were instrumental in obtaining a final Allied victory."

Do you know the famous spech of Slobodan Milosevic at the Kosovo field in 1989?

No? Here you are...

"Serbia has never had only Serbs living in it. Today, more than in the past, members of other peoples and nationalities also live in it. This is not a disadvantage for Serbia. I am truly convinced that it is its advantage. National composition of almost all countries in the world today, particularly developed ones, has also been changing in this direction. Citizens of different nationalities, religions, and races have been living together more and more frequently and more and more successfully."

Slobodan Milosevic, 28 June, 1989

[CobaltBlue]

What a pointless argument you're making. One doesn't judge people by their words, but by their deeds. Especially politicians. Talk is cheap.

[CobaltBlue]

Good for General Mihailovich, but that doesn't refute the fact that many Serbs were fascists and Nazi sympathizers. Not all, of course.


In America, we don't judge people by their religion. We judge them by their actions.

Nor do people get a "pass" on all future wrong-doing because they had an ancestor who did the right thing in the past.
