Gustave, please explicitly detach the link between racism and me. I have not given you any reason to assume racism on my side. Also I have reasonably discussed matters of cultural bias in media, where you had nothing but a gross preconception. It is true that I didn't complain about the ethnic Albanians killed, murdered, evicted from home, raped and in each and every way being humiliated by Serbian criminals. I do so now, once and forever, and I admit that it is somewhat late to do so. I felt as if it is not needed to say explicitly what is known to everybody anyway. It is not that I did not see or count those crimes. It is to counterbalance the monotony of what I have seen from the main stream media. MNI If you feel you should apologize to me, there would be a warm welcome.

<< They just don't give a shit about Arabs, Muslims, Indians, Negroes or whatever ethnic, racial, religious minorities >> Intellectual racists. Their sins are worse than the normal rednecks because they should know better. << And now they see them as an even greater threat because, for the first time, values have been used as the explicit basis for waging war. >> I am very vocal when I feel that the U.S. government is wrong. This time, though, I am really proud of the U.S. and of the NATO countries. I could not believe it when it was clear that NATO was on a moral crusade against tyranny. This just doesn't happen in this racist, political, money driven world. Cultures murder other cultures for religion, money, land, hatred, etc, they don't ever come to the rescue of another culture. This is a moral turning point for the world! But, as your note implies, despots around the world, in China, in Russia, in Cuba, in North Korea, in Iraq, etc. are fearful that this new NATO morality will spread, making their greedy, inhumane royal asses a little less safe. << Trying to open their eyes is merely flogging a dead horse. (sigh!) >> OTOH, we don't have to open their eyes. It's not important. Their racism, intolerance and indifference opens the eyes of others.
