Another look at the Clinton legacy and Kaiser Willie's Kosovo Quagmire.

We cannot reward the terrorism of the KLA. The Serb Army must be returned immediately!

BUMP!!!!

I believe that the Diocese of Raska and Prizren is the ONLY organization on the ground, taking photos and videos and writing news stories, in Kosovo/Metohia. Is that true? The news of the holocaust against Kosovo's Serbs needs to get out to the world, before the Shiptars do someting even WORSE in the coming weeks or months!!!!

ONLY a Serbian Kosovo can be peaceful!!!!

" Albanians feel very supported by the U.S. There are American flags everywhere"

Never thought the US would on the side of evil in a conflict. Thanks to Clinton and the neo-cons we have become the bad guys.

I can't imagine anything worse then silence about destruction and cultural cleansing of kosovo and metohija, now when ethnic cleansing is almost finished.

Although I'm very republican, i.e. against restauration of monarchy in serbia, I have to applaud to HRH Princess Linda Karageorgevich for her brave visit.

Nennsy told me about this visit a week ago. She said:

"I give credit to all the people who came here including Princes Jelisaveta Karadjordjevic, who visited Kosovo week ago and had spoken to people kicked out from their homes. To all of us here, that means a lot. To know that we are not forgotten, and that people care."

Actually, we've sided with the baddest of the bad guys, but we can correct this situation in a heartbeat if only we would try.

Can I ask you, why are you against the restauration of monarchy in Serbia...???

http://www.royalfamily.org/index_eng.html

I lost somehow the trust in the serbian politicians and the royal familie is doing there best to support all people in Serbia...

I believe that all men are created equal :-)

Why do we need monarchy? Black George, the founder of Karadjordjevic dinasty was elected in popular assembly, as well as Milos Obrenovic, of Obrenovic dinasty.

If international situation was different, Serbs would continue that way of electing their leaders. Maybe they would introduce presidential position, who knows.

Even if we restore monarchy, do you think king would rule? No, we need politicians again. Like England. Parliamentary monarchy. King rules, but doesn't govern :-)

Besides, why should we bring back Karadjordjevic dinasty? Because of King Aleksandar, we entered joint state with croats, instead creating one strong serbian state. That was the seed of our XX century collapse. Black George, he did what he could, but he was elected. Besides King Peter I Karadjordjevic, we have nobody from that family we could say something positive about. I mean, nobody significant besides Aleksander, Paul, Peter I and Black George. King Peter I translated John Stuart Mill's "On Liberty"! He was a great man.

Monarchy is obsolete. We need higher class, patriotic like the one from 19th and start of 20th century. Capitalism, initiative, free market, trade, small industry grabing ahead, civil liberties (like 1888. constitution), patriotism!

Monarchy is not gurarantee for this.

The argument for having Royals is that they are able to rise above petty political concerns during a crisis and remind people to act like adults.

Clinton legacy my ass. This crap started with old man Bush, continued without a hiccup through the Clinton years, and it's the same old BS with Georgie Jr.

When Georgie Sr. was in office I was told that Kosovo was lost to the Serbs and that was way before Billy C. even got a wiff of the linen in the White House or the first shots of the Kosovo civil war being fired. This is AMERICA'S legacy.

After the recent pograms, how many times did Georgie Jr. pound the podium and declare that it's obvious that this disease of terror has spread to Kosovo? I'll give you the answer: ZERO. The U.S. and German members of Kfor were the must pathetic excuses for protecting Christian holy places that I've ever heard of in my life and that scum bag politician, Billy C., had absolutely nothing to do with it. Face it folks, this newest American president doesn't give a flying rat's ass about Christian holy shrines in Kosovo or what any Albanians animals are doing to them or to any Serbian people.

The pograms never even came close to entering into the minds of the American people and the US press, the Democrats AND the Republicans are thankful.

If any of you folks still believe that the Republicans are going to come in on a white horse and fix this mess, you're only kidding yourselves. They want nothing less than for every Serb in Kosovo to just go away and for us to forget they were ever there. What a friggin' load of crap.

When Jr. got elected I said that nothing would change in Kosovo. I was wrong. It's gotten much worse.

"I was told by the late Warren Zimmerman, former U.S. ambassador to Yugoslavia back in 1992 that the "Serbs would lose the Serb Krajina, Kosovo, Sandzak, Vojvodina," and that, in the end, even what remains of Serbia may well not be recognized."

It is easy for a Zimmerman, an American, to cede Serb land--and after all has been lost--to further question the right of Serbia to exist even as a truncated entity.

re: They want nothing less than for every Serb in Kosovo to just go away and for us to forget they were ever there. What a friggin' load of crap.)))

I find the attitudes toward the Balkan disaster very similar to a *liberal* US Jew's attitude toward Israel--"Go away and die. You embarrass me."

While it's true that we can't pack this completely on the Concupicent One, there is also a gang you are not blaming--the neocons. Without McVain, Bill Kristol, Kraut the Hammer--Biden and Albright could never have mustered enough support to push Clinton into war. Ever see BJ go willingly to any fight?

And I do think you judge the Bushes rather harshly--McVain has gotten a free pass for his efforts in getting us on the wrong side, and a US president cannot manage to cover the entire world. Isn't it cute, too, how the Albanians send a trickle of troops to "help" us in Iraq? Going after the Senior Bush needs hindsight. At least the Elder wasn't beating the drums to aid the Islamic Albanians.

Go to Kristol's writings in the nineties--"New American Century"--and search out Kosovo. It will curl your hair. He doesn't exactly use the word--"Liebensraum"--but I sure catch a strong whiff of it.

And this article also sums up how we ended up on the wrong side-- link

I am very aware of the roles that McBain and Dole played in leading the charge of the KLA in Kosovo. I just don't believe the Bushes should be let off the hook so easily. Their policies have been very consistant with those of Clinton when it comes to the Balkans save for some hot air and a few changes in the bells and whistles.

Thanks for link. I had that one on my old computer but failed to move it to this one.

Dole's involvement? hadn't yet read of this--please tell me what you know. Do you mean "sins of omission"? In my readings, his name was not mentioned. Kissenger tried to use his influence to keep us out of the Balkans, BTW.
