Jewish World Review July 11, 2005 / 4 Tamuz, 5765 Remember Srebrenica a.k.a. So what if we globalized al Qaeda! By Julia Gorin Excerpts "Serbs are the universal punching bag; there are no repercussions for anything one might say about them. Initial reports in 1993 even attributed the World Trade Center bombing to "Serbian terrorists." Serb concerns are routinely trivialized, their perspectives dismissed as whining or self-serving. When, in the midst of our 1999 offensive on Yugoslavia, a friend calling in to a talk radio show dared imply that Serbs weren't responsible for the Markale Marketplace bombings, she was instantly reprimanded by the incredulous hostess: "Are you defending the SERBS?!" "Serbs perfectly meet all the PC-villain criteria," explains
political satirist Oleg Atabashian, who runs PeoplesCube.com (the site will be
operational again tomorrow). "They're another white, Christian, European
minority supposedly guilty of oppressing the most popular 'minority', the
Muslims. A whole new nation of Serbs is getting sacrificed right before our eyes
on the altar of the self-hating cult that western society has
become."
Milosevic scored points early on when he showed
the court an Albanian map depicting Greater Albania, which included
southeast Montenegro, southern Serbia, western Macedonia and parts of
northern Greece in addition to Kosovo a long-harbored
dream of many in Albania and Kosovo. It goes without saying that the American
people were not shown this map of Greater Albania as they were being sold a
story of Milosevic's push for a "Greater Serbia."
"The meddlers include the Council on Foreign Relations, the
International Crisis Group, a number of Congressmen, most of the Clinton-era
State Department now working for quasi-governmental
institutes and Wesley Clark. Clark warned
in a February Wall St. Journal op-ed that "a violent collision may occur by
year-end" if we don't give the Albanians what they want and this
four-star general advocated doing just that. After all, a violent collision
would shine an unwelcome spotlight on his "successful war", as he spent all of
election year billing it in contrast to Iraq. So Clark wants to close the book
as soon as possible on Kosovo, where there were four more explosions over the
July 4th weekend ongoing attempts to persuade the
international community that only one final status is acceptable: complete
independence, without border compromises. Besides, he already promised his erstwhile
campaign donors, the National Albanian American Council, that "Kosova" would be
independent, using the purposeful Albanian mispronunciation of the Serbian word
as his old boss had. In the Journal piece, Clark even suggested pummeling the
Serbs again if Belgrade got in the way (since it's easier than fighting Albanian
terrorists). "
