I am cross posting from Aut Auto Syp.

Hey I don't know, but I think that this whole attempt to say how things
should be on the Balkans
is pretty arrogant  on the side of "we" Americans. It amazes me how
Liberals and Leftist alike can hear one day on the radio how The UN said
there was genocide in Guatemala during its last civil war, which was of
course created and funded by the USA. Some 300,000 thousand Indians people
were killed, while at the same time the USA,
it is celebrated as the leader in Human Rights.
During the time of Pelo war in Greece both Athens and Sparta were engaged
in creating and repressing revolutions, in order to ensure that the
colonized states of the ancient Greek world were exploited and engaged in
the war effort on the correct side (Athenian or Spartan). The Western
governments are doing the same thing as Sparta and Athens; if they think
they can get a former east block country, or any other non-western state
under their control they will support some fraction the people with money
and weapons so that they will attempt to create a revolution, witch will
bring that state under Western control and free market exploitation. Now
on the other hand if that state is like Columbia, the insurgents will be
termed Terrorists and drug dealers instead of  freedom fighters like the
KLA.


And the civil wars which are created by the west to as NATO countries in
their fight to gain control of the entire world's resources, turning
Asia, Africa, South America and Eastern Europe into areas of exploitation,
half the worlds population will be damned to a live in extreme  poverty
and all the violence an barbarism that come with civil war.

With that said I would say that I see Milosevic as one player in much
bigger game played out on the world stage. Marget Thatcher always
advocated the break up of Yugoslavia during the Eighties, and not the
unification of nothern Ireland for the simple reason that Nothern Ireland
was under the control of the English military while Yugoslavia was not.
What this MilosevicTrial is about, is to further portray the NATO
countries and "champions of the free world", while diverting attention
away from its own activities else where. Milosevic trial is not every
different than what happened with  Panamanian dictator Manuel Noriega.

Well and when I tell people this, I am always accused of  forwarding some
kind  of conspiracy theory. I'm like what, just because the western media
is not much more than a propaganda apparatus serving to justified the
cruelty of its foreign policy, And because I don't want to believe in the
lies my media and government are telling me, I am some how a believing in
"conspiracy theory." Does not the media tell it own "conspiracy". But hey
what can you do, this appears to be the order of the day. I just can help
but feel that so many of us are terribly deceived with regards to our true
political situation.

Cheers
Jeremiah

"It is nonsense to talk of opposing fascism by bourgeois 'democracy.'
Bourgeois 'democracy' is only
another name for capitalism, and so is Fascism; to fight against Fascism
on behalf of 'democracy' is
to fight on the behalf of a second which is liable to turn into the first
at any moment. "(60)
