Sadly, it is just a new group of people in the Balkans who thought they could be left undisturbed by the rampages of the US government and NATO. (good sources there, though, it is well done, the webpage). As they calmly went about their Macedonian "independent" business for the past 10 years or so, many of the people of Macedonia may have thought they would be safe from NATO machinations . Now, they are learning the truth. The same forces that broke up Yugoslavia and the liars who talk out of two sides of their mouths are coming after them. To paraphrase Niemoeller, " They came for the Slovenians but I wasn't a Slovenian, so I didn't speak out, and they came for the Croatians but I wasn't a Croatian so i didn't speak out, and they came for the Bosnians, but I wasn't a Bosnian so i didn't speak out, and they came for the Serbs (they ALWAYS came for the Serbs) and I didn't speak out., And now when they came for the Macedonians (and make no mistake it will be the Greeks, next, in "Chimeria, as the fascists among the Albanians call it), there was no one left to speak out. " So many of the Yugoslav people in the US and Canada are and were conservative and anti-socialist, that they never really understood why the US/NATO went after their country. It is infuriating, but that is a major part of the problem. So many are bewildered and depressed and confused by the events of the last 12 years. They see the connection with oil and resources, pipelines and cheap labor of the east, but they don't REALLY get it, because they may not have opposed US policy toward the rest of the world or may have been beneficiaries of the system which exploits others. The Anti-Globalist movement needs to take this on. To oppose NATO expansion is a priority that has to make the links with anti-imperialist struggle and the anti-Militarist struggle. It's coming. Some of the youth see it. We are all trying to clarify it. I am optimistic!
