That's the motto we were looking for: "The Serbs shall Rise Again." <g>

nuke,, I think that the Civil War was to decide on who was going to run the country--- the North or the South--- The slave thing was the excuse used to whip up the boys into killing their bro's---- Much the same as I find the saving of the Albanians a BS excuse for taking control of Kosovo by Nato/U.S

Nuke do you read only your own posts? Why in a World I would be discussing Civil War of which I know nothing, except that I live in South Carolina....Did I say as much in common as Russian Revolution? Did I ask you if the purpose of Civil War was eradication of Southereners as example of your inappropriate use of "Final Solution" terminology, which means extermination of Jews by nazis and nothing more? you are not in Vidrene twisted world are you? You surely do not believe that emigre from Soviet Union would engage you into Civil War discussion? You just wanted to shine, right?

The flipside of the sanitised euphemism is exaggerated rhetoric. Rhetoric is the traditional tool of political leaders during times of conflict. But during the Kosovo campaign it has gone into over-drive. US President Clinton and British Prime Minister Tony Blair liken Yugoslav leader Slobodan Milosevic to Adolf Hitler and his "ethnic cleansing" offensive against the Kosovar Albanians to that of the Nazi Holocaust against the Jews. Of course, the Serbs, too, are playing the same game. Yugoslav state television has described NATO leaders as "degenerate criminals" and CNN as "pigs". As British playwright Harold Pinter and other members of the international writers' group PEN wrote in a letter to The Times recently, the difference is that Serbian statements are dubbed propaganda in the West while the West's overblown language is dismissed as mere "spin". "Both terms are deplorable," they wrote. "If we cannot have peace let us at least have the truth." afr.com.au
