More than 3,000 Serbs came together on Saturday at the Serbian Orthodox Church’s official ceremony in honor of the victims of the 1999 NATO bombing in Yugoslavia. The victims were remembered throughout the country, but the main ceremony took place in the town of Aleksinac in southern Serbia, often known as “Serbian Hiroshima,” reports the Serbian Orthodox Church.
On the day of the 19th anniversary of the tragedy, His Grace Bishop Arseny of Niš served a panikhida in memory of all the victims and offered a homily. The clergy and representatives of the president of the republic laid flowers at the monument where the prayers were read. The ceremony was attended by residents of Aleksinac and the surrounding areas.
The city hosted a state ceremony in the evening in the central town square under the slogan, “We will forgive if we can. We will forget only when we’re gone.” Footage of the bombing was shown on huge screens, after which a choir performed a memorial prayer, and thousands of people lit candles on the square.
Aleksinac, a small mining town in southern Serbia with a population of about 16,000, was one of the first to suffer from the NATO bombings of 1999. It has never had a military facility. As a result of the airstrike, 14 were killed and another 50 seriously injured. Subsequent airstrikes were carried out against the city in May and June 1999. Dozens of houses were destroyed and almost all industrial facilities were destroyed. Many civilians were killed or injured.

Was that the Clinton Bombing?
One of the worst things this country has ever done.

Agree.
I wonder how much the Clintons were paid to bomb Serbia.
And Waco.
Mr. President, Milosevic is the Problem
... including Trump's NSA nominee John Bolton.
Nothing to see here, folks. Move along.
There is no call for bombing them in that letter.
And Ruby Ridge.
Followed by Iraq and Afghanistan.6
I've posted links to that one in the past, but the link from my source on that one doesn't work because the globalist "neo-con" dreck at the Project for the New American Century have been scrubbing their most embarrassing materials from the web over the years.
Yes, of course.
Milosevic WAS the problem.
SERBIA’S problem. (And believe me, having relatives there - he was HATED by everyone with more than a High School education). But he ran a police state through terror and intimidation.
The US/NATO war against Serbia violated:
A. The UN Charter against aggressive war;
B. The NATO Charter (which only binds members to come to the defense of member states that are attacked by an outsider).
Serbia was fighting a nasty internal Civil War in its Southernmost province. No good guys on either side. Result of policies and conflicts going back to the Middle Ages. No vital interest of the US involved there.
This was probably the WORST thing The ‘Toon ever did as president. All because of Monica. He is a cocaine snorting, raping, bribe-taking, WAR CRIMINAL of the first order.
But y’all already knew that.
It was published on January 29, 1999 — same type of ad in the same place (New York Times). I had links posted here on FR but the PNAC doesn’t exist anymore as an organization and the link is broken.
It had nothing to do with Monica Lewinsky.
It had everything to do with a U.S. government and many leading think tanks in Washington that were wholly-owned subsidiaries of radical Islamic money from places like Saudi Arabia and Kuwait.
Do you think it's really just a coincidence that the U.S. has been involved in a continuous military campaign in the Middle East since 1990 -- on behalf of Saudi and Kuwaiti royal family members who are major real estate investment partners of the Bush family?
I agree. It was during this time that I first found FR. What Clinton did to Serbia was a disgrace.
The NeoCons supported bombing Serbian Christians on behalf of Muslim terrorists. And the NeoCons today support bombing Syrian Christians who are members of the Syrian Army and Syrian National Defense Forces on behalf of Muslim terrorists. Trump is now surrounded by NeoCons.
When it was supposed to take time dealing with Al Qaeda (they had launched attacks on America embassies in east africa, in 1998), America went to do dirty job for two faced europeans.
