NATO in Kosova

Instead of protecting the Serbs, NATO is encouraging their flight from Kosova. One U.S. soldier who was appalled by the brutality of the Albanians commented, "I didn’t come here to help the Serbs flee from their homes." Not a single Albanian terrorist has been arrested and sentenced for murder or rape. Not one KLA official, publicly identified with forcibly evicting Serbs from their homes or bombing churches has been dismissed.

NATO’s shameful behavior in Kosova is not a result of monumental incompetence, ignorance, or impotence. The close relations between NATO and the KLA and the overwhelming armed presence of NATO throughout the region preclude any assumption of innocence. The most plausible explanation is that NATO is supporting a very professional and systematic form of ethnic cleansing in order to punish and destabilize the Serbian government by forcing tens of thousands of refugees into Serbia.

Secondly, an "ethnically cleansed" Albania Kosova would be a docile client of the U.S. and Western Europe, thus increasing NATO’s stranglehold in the Southern Balkans. The UN Commission on Refugees refuses to consider the tens of thousands of Serbs fleeing Albanian terrorists as refugees because "technically" Kosova is still part of Yugoslavia. Therefore, the refugees are denied any aid and the burden is placed on the Serbian government.

U.S. military strategists have worked with and promoted paramilitary groups like the KLA to terrorize enemy populations in many regions of the world. Washington’s (and NATO’s) purpose in using paramilitary groups is to deflect responsibility for human rights violations from the military and police to "anonymous extremists." Thus, the NATO powers can claim innocence, while their Albanian clients engage in their dirty little war.

The Albanian leadership in Kosova has strong ties with the Mafia in Northern Albania, which has been very active in the kidnaping of under age Kosova women for overseas prostitution in Spain and Italy. as well as servicing the NATO "liberators." Kosova is overrun with Albanian gangsters stealing cars, looting and killing Albanian Kosovars. While the NATO war opens small scale business opportunities for the Albanian Mafia, the "reconstruction" contracts have provoked a major economic war among European and U.S. multinationals, eager to obtain lucrative construction contracts. Washington has shown greater concern and forcible intervention to secure "equal treatment" for its construction companies than it has for the tens of thousands of Serbs terrorized by Albright’’ cheering crowds. In the process of evaluating the damage in Kosova, the UN High Commission for Refugees revealed that the majority of Albanian houses, hospitals, and schools damaged during the 78-day war were caused by NATO bombing. Under these circumstances, it is understandable why NATO commanders prefer to let Albanians vent their rage and revenge over their destroyed homes against poor and aged Serbian farmers. It allows NATO to escape its responsibility for the destruction in Kosova. Nevertheless, the destructive legacy of NATO’s war lives on in Kosova’s everyday life. British and U.S. made cluster bombs and depleted uranium ammunition found throughout the province are killing and wounding dozens of Kosovars every week. Apparently, NATO and KLA commanders "forgot" to inform them. Such is the concern for peace and freedom.                Z
