"EVERYTHING ABOUT SERBIA WAS A LIE"

NATO War Crimes and links to Al Qaeda confirmed
Former UN Commander in the Balkans

We bombed the wrong side?
by Lewis MacKenzie

This article was in major papers in Canada.
http://globalresearch.ca/articles/MAC404A.html

Five years ago our television screens were dominated by pictures of Kosovo-Albanian refugees escaping across Kosovo's borders to the sanctuaries of Macedonia and Albania. Shrill reports indicated that Slobodan Milosevic's security forces were conducting a campaign of genocide and that at least 100,000 Kosovo-Albanians had been exterminated and buried in mass graves throughout the Serbian province. NATO sprung into action and, in spite of the fact no member nation of the alliance was threatened, commenced bombing not only Kosovo, but the infrastructure and population of Serbia itself -- without the authorizing United Nations resolution so revered by Canadian leadership, past and present.

Those of us who warned that the West was being sucked in on the side of an extremist, militant, Kosovo-Albanian independence movement were dismissed as appeasers. The fact that the lead organization spearheading the fight for independence, the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA), was universally designated a terrorist organization and known to be receiving support from Osama bin Laden's al-Qaeda was conveniently ignored.


“We Bombed The Wrong Side”

http://www.antiwar.com/blog/2004/04/...he-wrong-side/


Retired Canadian general and veteran UN peacekeeper Lewis McKenzie isn’t the first to say that, and may not be the last.

In an op-ed in Canada’s National Post today, McKenzie deals with the very same issues as last week’s Balkan Express: a seemingly (and likely) coordinated effort to ignore or spin away the truth behind the pogrom in Kosovo, going as far as omitting the discovery that gunmen who murdered two UN police were Albanians posing as Serbs.

McKenzie commanded the first UN contingent in Bosnia in 1992, and by managing to open up the flow of humanitarian aid to Sarajevo buggered up the Bosnian Muslim leadership’s plan to provoke a NATO intervention on its behalf. That earned him the burning hatred of Izetbegovic’s toadies and their foreign enablers, who smeared McKenzie endlessly as a “Serb-lover” and even accused him of war crimes! So he knows what he’s talking about, first-hand.

West ‘pressing to dismember Serbia’
BELGRADE The Serbian Prime Minister has said that powerful Western nations have asked his country to give up the province of Kosovo voluntarily and to be an accomplice to the creation of a new Albanian state.
Vojislav Kostunica said: “We must now decide whether Serbia will succumb to this violence and become the first country in Europe to have been humiliated by a land grab since the Munich agreement.”

from another forum

The Russians launched one of the greatest wars in history in defense of the Serbs, I doubt that they will simply sit back and watch as the country is torn apart.

Maybe Putin has put the russian nuclear arsenal on high alert for this reason.

This is what I read on a newspaper some days ago. The US allegedly have admitted that if Serbia launches another war against albanians, they aren't currently capable to deploy another force against them and the europeans aren't ready to stop the Serbs. Besides Serbs are now backed up energetically by the Russians and therefore they would be scarcely affected by sanctions.

Putin puts Nuclear Arsenal on HIGH alert
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/new...cle2910112.ece

President Putin accused Nato yesterday of threatening Russia’s security and ordered the military to place the country’s strategic nuclear arsenal on a higher state of alert.
“In violation of previous agreements, certain member countries of the Nato alliance are increasing their resources next to our borders,” Mr Putin told generals in a meeting broadcast on state television. “Russia cannot remain indifferent to this obvious muscle-flexing.”
Mr Putin, whose rhetoric has become more strident as relations with the West have deteriorated, went on: “One of the most important tasks remains raising the combat readiness of the strategic nuclear forces. They should be ready to deliver a quick and adequate reply to any aggressor.”
He issued his stark message as Russia confirmed that it would pull out of a landmark arms limitation treaty on December 12. The Conventional Forces in Europe (CFE) treaty was fundamental to ending the Cold War.

There's no excuse in putting blame on UN and EU considering that. It will be Serbian and Albanian doing.

Probably, I heard some extremist groups in Serbia are already preparing for one. Yet I don't believe a war will solve anything? When it comes down to ethnical cleansing and genocide, all the ideals and mottos stop making sense.

A MEDITATION ON HARDEN’S DIORAMA: A FIELD OF POPPIES

Introduction

Every human tragedy may be considered a tragedy for humanity since all of mankind shares a common human nature. The fact that we do not recognise ourselves in the peoples of other tribes, nations and cultures is among the greatest of our human failings. How is it that we so seldom understand from our heart that all human beings feel pain, hopelessness, despair, love, joy, hope and aspirations in the same way that we do? Perhaps it is because we also act with fear, malice, hatred and prejudice in the same manner?
Every nation, every tribe, every race and every era of mankind produces both great humanitarians and savage tyrants and every form of character in between. The constant struggle of mankind is to become fully human, to recover the image and likeness of God in ourselves for in God's image and likeness we were all created and to learn to see that image in every other human being. We can validate our own humanity in no other way than by fully acknowledging from the heart the equal humanity of those whom we consider to be enemies. This can only be accomplished when, together, we can liberate ourselves from the tyranny of the past.
Every tribe, every nation, is most profoundly self-identified by its ethnic legends, heroes and national mythologies. These are far more powerful than the mundane realities of history, and it is those great moments and outstanding persons both heroes and villains alike which forge a stage upon which heroes and great events act out their roles, are of little note and seldom are remembered. Yet these people often are the real heroes who so often endure and carry on under the heaviest of burdens. It is through them that the ultimate triumph of the human spirit is accomplished and witnessed.
It is the manner in which we interpret these great events and the heroes that marshal them which shapes our spiritual lives and defines the inner qualities of our souls. The fact that the Serbs chose as their national holiday the anniversary of their greatest defeat, the Battle of Kosovo in 1389, speaks volumes. It is necessary to understand how we interpret this event in order to comprehend the history of this event and its aftermath. The battle, called "Vidodan" because it was fought on the Feast Day of Saint Vidus (Vitus), took place on a hillside, covered with poppies, in the Serbian "holy land," known today as Kosovo-Metochia. For us Serbs, Vidodan has a direct connection to another great battle, waged on a hill outside the holy city of Jerusalem, also covered with poppies. That great battle, between Darkness and Light, was waged by Jesus Christ on the Cross atop the hill of Golgotha. For us, the Battle of Kosovo is our direct identity with Golgotha, with Christ on the Cross, and with the ancient Christian martyrs. It is here that our nation and its people shared in the suffering of our own ancient martyrs and truly became partakers of Christ's sacrifice on Calvary.

Among the great national monuments of the Serbs and their kings there are no rich palaces or formidable castles only churches and monasteries, the largest number of which are found in Kosovo-Metochia, which for centuries has been the spiritual and religious heartland of Serbia. Within this fabled provine lie the richest treasures of Serbian Orthodox Christianity; it is here that one finds some of the world's most deeply spiritual Christian art and relics. For me and for most Serbs, it represents the visible, tangible spiritual reality of our lives. Clearly then, Serbian consciousness of Kosovo-Metochia as a holy land is not simply part of a national mythology. The sense of the field of poppies amidst the Battle of Kosovo, as an image of Golgotha, is only heightened as we watch with indescribable grief our people being martyred and our holy places being destroyed anew, by wanton hatred for their representation as Christian people, Christian monuments, and for Christ Himself. If the sense of Kosovo as our identity with Golgotha was powerful before, it has been burned ever more deeply into the Serbian psyche. Only by comprehending this can one address the current tragedies of Kosovo-Metochia successfully. This is, however, only one aspect of the Kosovo crisis.
Regardless of the means by which Albanians began to dominate the province of Kosovo-Metochia, the fact is they do! They have their own perspective, their own agenda and, though they are intangible, their own mythologies. In the absence of understanding, compassion and a sincere recognition of each other's humanity, history and aspirations, this crisis will continue its painful progress as an ongoing and deeply wounding human tragedy. Both Serbs and Albanians have their realities, their legends, and their deep attachment to Kosovo-Metochia, whose history has been told and retold a hundred times by a hundred authors. It is not for us to retell it once again here, but rather to appeal to the humanity of all those who find themselves in the midst of this sorrow.
Art does not address history so much as it addresses the human soul, and thereby bares the heart of a society to the eyes of the world. Richard Harden's monumental work, In a Field of Poppies, is one of the most powerful and compelling explorations of this ineffable tragedy. Thus it speaks to my heart, and I hope to the hearts of all who may see this work of art exhibited.

A Meditation on Harden's Painting "In a Field of Poppies"

The field of poppies sweeps like a river of fire that burns deeply into both Serbian and Albanian hearts. In the ancient battlefield the Blackbird Meadow only a little green from spring rains, the crimson poppies bloom like bloodstains on the landscape of the Balkan psyche. National myths rise with the mist, obscuring the purer visions of humanity. Who dies and who lives become questions lessened only by the anguish over who has a right to plant his dead in Kosovo's soil.
They hate because they love. Their singular tragedy is that they cannot reconcile themselves to each other's love. They love the land and cannot tolerate each other's presence on it. This land, this narrow strip of soil, this hallowed ground of Kosovo-metochia, is so deeply woven into the fabric of their souls that even those Serbs who have not yet seen it feel its presence in their consciousness.
The twisted remains a bicycle that perhaps had once made a child's eyes sparkle is slowly engulfed by the poppies. A flaming house burns without being consumed, branding the landscape like the fire of malevolence that torments the human soul.
If only the same fire could cauterise the wounds and refine the love from the human dross of fear and hatred. Is there no means of reconciliation? Must it forever be the destiny of Kosovo to harbour shattered lives and nurse the deadliest of human passions?
The land does not ask, "Whose bones are these that decorate my hillsides; whose broken dreams and conquered hopes smoulder in my valleys?" From her desolate hillsides a soft wind murmurs through the now stunted trees, whispers across the land and ruffles the poppies in the Blackbird Meadow. It is a mournful breeze the sound of lamentation. Like Rachel, Kosovo weeps for her children and will not be comforted because they are gone.
Archbishop Lazar Puhalo

this is how things is: if kosovo become independent all serbs from kosovo will move to east bosnia (republic of srpska) and ower there thay will become majoriti. calculating on this if kosovo can separate from serbia, than rep. srpska can separate from bosnia. and conect to serbia. that is serbian plan and if thay can do that than they win BUT bosnian goverment want alow splitting, and croatia vants hercegovina (south part of bosnia with croatian major population) so we hawe a WAR again. I live in croatia and i dont care about politic but only war that i want is virtual. If this scenario becomes a true, than God help us all

But Bosnia is a joke, the Croat and Serb parts should be given the right to join Croatia and Serbia.

war drums are beating in moscow and in beograd, i dont see any other ways to stop them from declaring independence, if kosovo albanians start a war, macedonian and montenegrian albanians will most likely start a war in those countries, since i was born in montenegro, i got weapons body armor and ammunition at my uncles house, all i need is a 1 way plane ticket and im ready, already know around 50 serbians in my school alone who are willing to go fight incase a war breaks out..
