> Regarding Zizek's brilliant paper Brilliant???? >When the Western powers repeat all the time that they are not fighting the Serb people, but only their corrupted regime, they rely on the typically liberal wrong premise that the Serbian people are just victims of their evil leadership personified in Milosevic, manipulated by him. BS. They insist on this travesty ONLY for internal consumption...to fool the masses. To insist that bombing all bridges and electric plants and car factories in cities hundreds of miles to the north of Kosovo has nothing to do with Serb people is totally ludicrous...but the average Joe six pack here, who takes a glimpse of his news on the major networks and CNN will see Clinton looking presidential say "we have nothing against the Serb people"..hogwash! >The painful fact is that Serb aggressive nationalism enjoys the support of the large majority of the population. It is only logical, when the economy is in such a state of ruin after years of punishing sanctions and IMF prescribed poisonous medicine and thousands of refugees flooding Serbia, that people would turn more to nationalist causes. But still the majority of the Serbs are not aggressive nationalists as they are portrayed everywhere! >So, on the one hand, we have the obscenities of the Serb state propaganda: they regularily refer to Clinton not as "the American president," but as "the American Fuehrer"; Why not? Afterall, Milo's face was plastered all over as the face of evil and portrayed as this maniacal psycho ethnic cleanser...just two years after he was unanimously hailed as the peace maker in Dayton. >two of the transparents on their state-organized anti-Nato demonstrations were "Clinton, come here and be our Monica!" (i.e. suck our...), and "Monica, did you suck out also his brain?". Serbs have a great sense of humor! In their case, it has been black humor for a while. Another sign of their talent for black humor: In one of the army trucks of the convoy leaving Kosovo, one had a sticker..."Serbia...All the way to Tokyo"...LOL, of course Zizek will say this is an indication of the Serbs' aggressive nationalism! >three hundred kilometers to the South, a genocide of African proportions is taking place... Gus, pleeease no more brilliant papers by this guy...Genocide of African proportions..........LOL
