Date: Wed, 02 Jun 1999 15:54:15 -0400 BOUNCE syndicate: Non-member submission from [Peter Costanza <PCostanza@gbls.org>] There is an assumption in some of these posts that I reject, which is that NATO is deliberately targeting Serb civilians. There is no real evidence that this is the case, except in the sense that the civilian population is targeted by attacks on the electric power grid. Milosivic, who was ELECTED (he is not s military dictator like Saddam Hussein), has deliberately pursued power by ethinic warfare for nine years, and has been robustly suypported by most of the Serb population. He and his supporters have killed over 200,000 people since he embarked on this strategy. Many of the innocent civilians killed by NATO have been Albanians. The Albanians have not called for a halt to the bombing. A nation that can elect its leaders is morally accountable for the actions of those leaders - every Serb is accountable for what Milosovic does whether that Serb personally opposes or supports Milsovic. Every American is responsible for what Bill Clinton does. Every American was responsible for what Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon did to Vietnam. That is why a fair number of Americans fought in the streets against those scumbags, and that is what everyone has a right to expect of Serbs who oppose Milosivic. ------Syndicate mailinglist-------------------- Syndicate network for media culture and media art information and archive: http://www.v2.nl/syndicate to unsubscribe, write to <syndicate-request@aec.at> in the body of the msg: unsubscribe your@email.adress
