Amazing what even a tax accountant can learn about war these days. Ten years ago, I might have sat at my desk and watched a computer keyboard and papers flutter by my window on the 55th floor of Two World Trade Center and wondered what idiot was throwing garbage off the roof. But the human mind learns to absorb and process information even when we are not quite conscious of it. And so when I heard a noise and saw debris pass by my window Tuesday morning my mind immediately said: It's a bomb.

HERE is something for all of you people, something u need to see. What happened in N.Y. and the Pentagon was that the boomerangs you cast into the world came back and now they haunt you. "What goes around comes around" as you yanks say ;)

DEJA VU...here

Deja Vu, Belgrade 1999 - New York 2001, Bulgarian website.

Yes, you are partialy right. I opposed the US intervention in Yugoslavia from the begining. I hold that Clinton is a War Criminal for what he ordered there. I am not happy about either event.

Rationaly, though, I think that the way the U.S. acted in Yugoslavia only was a small part of why we were hit. I think an equal part is the abhorance of the West by Muslim fanatics, who understand that they are losing the culture war.

We need this shit like a hole in the head.

The difference is, and you conveniently forgot to mention it, is Belgrade was in the process of genocide, were we?

Did we bury Arabs in mass graves in New York? Did we rape and mutilate Arab women and children as was accepted by Belgrade, did we, as a people support a Hitleresque ruler?

You're from Bulgaria, right, it shows.

Go to hell you bastard!!

Belgrade was *not* in the process of genocide, and all the after the war investigations show that it was not. As for supporting a Hitleresque type leader, what about Clinton?

Belgrade=capital of Serbia=led by Slobadan Milosevic=Hitleresque.

Clintoon was part of a UNITED NATIONS movement.

(I disdain the U.N. almost as much as I disdain Klintoon.)

However, Milosevic was a murderer,and the people of that country supported him.

New Yorkers, Bush, Juliani, were not!! .

So with your logic, attack Klinton, attack the U.N., but why spill the blood of innocents?

COWARDS!

The funny thing is, we sided with the terrorists in Kosovo. Not that we should have, but you have wonder at the ingratitude in addition to the fanaticism and barbarism.

>>>I hold that Clinton is a War Criminal for what he ordered there. I am not happy about either event.

God gives a nation the leaders it deserves and gave Clinton to America to reflect its fallen state, like holding up a mirror.  Surely, because of the corporate nature of being responsible and accountable for the actions of leaders, Clinton may have sowed the wind, but America shall reap the whirlwind.  There should be a whole lot of repenting going on, but doesn't seem to be.

The great thing about propaganda is you mix a small amount of truths in with the lies to manipulate people into believing the lies are part of the truth.....

You fell for it hook, line and sinker.....

You should debate whether America should have gotten involved in Bulgaria's affairs but NOT the legitimate reason of why......

Fascinating account. Thanks for the post, and fie on those who have despoiled this thread with their arguing.

I am happy that this man escaped safely and I hope that the pregnant woman is delivered of her child safely and that she treasures the baby even more than normal because of his close call.
