This is Dark Cloud on Wednesday, August 05, 1998. The horror that is Kosovo – Kosovo, hell, that is all the former Yugoslavia – threatens not only the incubated peace of Europe, but of contiguous Asia, the West’s three major religions and subsects, and those happy phrases that have fed the pablum-brained for years. To review, this particular province of what is legally the new Yugoslavia but what is in reality the notional Greater Serbia is composed almost entirely of ethnic Albanians who wish, not entirely unreasonably, to unite with their colleagues in Albania to the southwest. Mr. Milosovich, the war criminal and leader of Serbia, has tried to essentially obliterate the Albanian rebels and keep this key province not only part of his obscene, racist nation, but subservient to it. It is the same attitude he shared with the province of Bosnia and the apparently only civilized portion of his nation, the Muslims, although they – to survive – have had to traffic with the most militant and delusional members of their own shared belief around the world. It is a revolting, frustrating, and cruel situation over there, and it is almost entirely Milosovich’s fault. He held other options, once. If there was ever a national leader that should be assassinated, an upstart trouble maker nation that should be invaded and civilized or at least policed, Milosovich and Serbia are the leading candidates. To be sure, this section of Europe - the Balkans - have been a bitter joke to the rest of the world for centuries. Even during the Enlightenment, the region was known to be full of pointlessly violent and crazy people, one French philosopher going so far as to equate Thrace with its numbers of caves and the insane blockheads living in them. This century started with no less than four Balkan Wars in the first decade. Bismark, that anal micro-manager of 19th century European diplomacy, was quite sure that regardless of whatever he or anyone did, “some damned foolish thing in the Balkans” would start the next war and, of course, he was correct. It took Tito backed by the Soviet Union to inflict peace upon the area. We must recall that during the Second World War Croatia, recently part of Yugoslavia, cheerfully affiliated with the Nazis, flaunted its historic Catholic faith, and with the evident backing of the Catholic Church slaughtered thousands of Greek Orthodox Serbs, those fiends in human form, and Muslims because you just do, that’s why. The Serbs, offered racial support by the equally Slavic Soviets, became communist in gratitude and joyfully massacred thousands of Croatians – those fiends in human form - and of course the Muslims because you can always use the practice. Muslims, those sick inhuman infidels left over from various Ottoman invasions during the time of Dracula, created even amongst this horror small conclaves of actual civilization and mutual tolerance that featured beautiful cities like Sarajevo where Orthodox and Catholic churches mingled with mosques, a high standard of living, and the respect of the world. In Serbia and Croatia, racist Blackshirts cheerfully marched in cities famous for their lawless decay and reli-gious stupidity amidst the natural beauty of a land that should be the richest in Europe. All sides have a thousand years of horror to avenge. All sides are guilty of unspeakable crimes. Yet when Tito, a Croatian, ran Yugoslavia, he managed to create the concept of a nation among these different, bitter enemies that indeed took hold, however tenuously. How else could he have received the initial backing of the Soviets, defied them, fought them, and ruled an independent country for decades if he did not have the backing of the Serbs? Tito did not sanction tribal revenge. He was a most important figure, now utterly wasted by his successors, who look back centuries for their inspirations. Milosovich and his generals, and they alone, stirred up Serbian race lust and tried to revive, in 20th century Europe, a militant conquering Empire with them-selves at the helm. From Greece to Austria, they saw themselves as the second largest nation in Europe threatening the West and East both. They are creatures of past centuries. And they deserve, these throw backs, to be killed. They ought, at least, to be arrested and tried for their own crimes and those they inspired. They are, in many ways, the most dangerous people alive since their continued existence is a solace to like-minded thugs everywhere. If the UN arrests and tries them, they will be trying the Serbian mindset as well, and all its prejudices, delusions, idiocies. Long overdue, and we ought to encourage this dearly desired event and elevate those who manage it into Valhalla by all means. Clearly, here is case where peaceful protest, reasoned diplomacy, and assumed civilized response are inadequate. Here, justified violence in its time is due. |
