The awful hypocracy here is that America for some time now has stood as a champion of racial tolerance and has purportedly held that a pluralistic society in the ethnic sense is a goal of our society. I've said if I were forced to take a side, which I am not, I would fight on the side of the Albanians. I am grateful no one is forcing me to fight in this. If my daughters are drafted I will encourage them to resist the draft. This struggle is a local ethnic fued. It has come to violence because of inflexible bigotry on both sides. The two sides are seeking and fighting for ethnic purity and as history reveals, ethnic dominance. We have waded in on one of the sides. It is politically incorrect to champion something that is white and christian and bill clinton is always with the politically correct polls, so here we are. I am a Muslim but this is very scary to me because if the polls change I know the resources of the USA will be used similarly against me. The issues are heavily intrenched in the Euro/Asian balance of powers and historical alliances. So I see the need for Asian and European countries to have a say in its settlement. I even see the sensibility of the USA casting support to our European Alliances. That is not the image I get from the News. I get a picture of bill Kingtoon flexing his muscles. He is doing it in the name of "Moral imperative." God help us when we permit this lying, perverted, rapist to command the standards of morality for the rest of us. If the individual people of the United States see themselves bound to defend their relatives or ancestors in the Balkans, I understand their need to go and join up and fight on one side or another. There are lots of Serbs in the USA also. Once again the media is at the beck and call of the white house to make its point.
