The tragic irony and hypocrisy is that the United States and NATO betrayed and bombed Serbia, because we had a President who created a "wag the dog" war to save his image and get his sexual scandals out of the headlines. Clinton collaborated with Iran to secretly supplied Bosnia's mujahidin, including al-Qa'ida, by funneling millions of dollars of weapons and supplies. If you don't believe me, I suggest you read this book:

Russia, the so-called defender of Pan-Slavism now openly helps Iran, the same country that helped train the Bosnian mujahidin, in which Arab Muslims joined Bosnian Muslims in the Balkans with the sole purpose of slaugthering Serbs and creating a Muslim nation in the heart of Europe. Russia is solely concerned with it's own interests, pure and simple.
And I would like to see what our Serb friends here have to say to this.
I can understand Serbs being outraged at American politicians, who committed a holocaust against their nation. But that is not the American public. During Clinton's blitzkrieg in 1999, most Americans didn't even know or care what Kosovo was. No Americans died (because Clinton carpet-bombed Serbia into submission, something no president would ever do to a Muslim nation), so Serbia stayed off our radar. We had nothing to do with what our evil president committed our military to in that war.
And I still haven't heard from the Serbs what Russia did to protect you when you were being butchered by NATO and the U.S. Air Force. Yeltsin and Primakov barked and whined, but, like Bush with Georgia, did
absolutely nothing. For that matter, what did Putin do when Kosovo declared independence this year with full Western backing? Is that really the kind of ally that you want to have?
I wish that all the Serbs here would wake up and see that despite the similar language/ethnicity/religion, Russia is
not their friend.
