Subject: (Fwd) Unca Bart's reply To Poet
.
|Perhaps someone might want to forward this to the author.
.
No. I wouldn't want to do that. Anyway, M Todorovic's email has already been
published by email on this list so anyone with schooling can send their
venom direct.
.
.
|I regret that, I think that sending bombs is a stupid policy, doomed
|to failure and sure to create enemies for the senders.
.
Then why have you Americans allowed your forces to be used that way?
See below.
.
|Why are you silent about that? Why have you allowed this mad man to
|give the NATO powers the excuse to drop the bombs in the first place?
.
And why, if you think it stupid, are YOU bombing Jugoslavia? See below.
.
|The destruction of the inhabitants of Kosovo is being
|conducted by you Serbs.
.
.
|And Kosovo, as a piece of ground is not a day older than the USA.
.
That's right. Before that, the ground that is the USA was lived on by the
Amerindians, murdered genocidally by the ancestors of Keri Malone. If
Todorovic is responsiible for the actions of all Serbs then perhaps Malone
is responsible for the actions of all Americans
.
.
|Even it's government is a newcomer, the USA has existed as a state
|since 1776. Your government has only been in existence since WWII.
.
well, no; the state of Jugoslavia postdates WWI, and was first called
something else, and that which broke up a few years ago postdates WWII -
during which it was invaded by the German Reich, the descendant of which is
helping to attack it now; but the country of Serbia is a lot older than USA
.
.
|Not that any of this matters, I just get weary of patent such
|nonsense.
.
Indeed, Keri
.
.
|many men of good will applaud the bombing of Serbia
|as just and proper retribution for allowing the SERB attrocities being
|committed (attrocities do not *happen*, someone *commits* them) to
|continue.
.
except that is not the reason given by NATO for its intervention
.
.
|I am not one of those, for I do not believe that the killing of
|innocents by SERBIAN forces, justifies the killing of innocents by
|anyone else.
.
No?
,
,
|Once again I note the selective vision you use to form your view of
|humanity. Are you entirely iggnorant of the genocide that has been
|practiced by SERBS in Bosnia, and now Kosovo for the last 9 years, or
|are you willfully blind?
.
Read his post
.
.
|Your belief in "civilization, humanity, internationalism" is a bit too
|selective for my tastes, thank you very much.
.
Really? What has he missed?
.
.
|Pity that Belgrade is being bombed.
.
"Pity" *is the word, but I am not sure you mean "pity". You mean it in the
way of "shame" - another word which is often used without its full power
which could be used with its full power to greater effect in this context.
.
I have been taken to task, backchannel, by someone who berates me for using
the word "gooks" on the basis that no one understands the word. I have
referred THEM to films & NEWS of the last 30 years...
.
You might like to look at a film, hardly a well-circulted one, called The
Shame by Ingmar Bergman.
.
.
| Put a stop to the insane actions of your armed forces and I'm quite sure
| that the bombs will stop.
.
Tell you what Keri, you stop your government doing what you think is wrong
and then I am sure Miroljub will learn from how you do it and stop his
government doing what he thinks is wrong
.
Good night from Europe, Keri; sleep well; you won't be bombed.
.
L
