The real reasons for bombing of Yugoslavia and so called Kosovo Conflict are:
First, the U.S. has decided that NATO is a more pliant military tool than the U.N., Kosovo being a case in point-the U.N. would never have authorized an armed attack on Serbia but NATO would and did, at the U.S. government's request. This is a direct violation of international law and the U.N. charter, as well as NATO's own charter which stipulates that NATO is to be a purely defensive alliance. But being the world's only superpower means you never have to say you are sorry, or justify your actions according to the rule of law.
Second, there are potentially trillions of dollars of oil in the Caspian Sea region which Western corporations want to control. Instead of a pipeline going through Iran or Russia, the U.S. plan is to build a pipeline through the Balkans and in order to do that we need compliant regimes who will do what they are told.
Thirdly, U.S. policy in the Balkans, as elsewhere, is motivated by the Pentagon's need to have some rationale for spending almost $300 billion dollars every year so that it can be the unelected policeman of the world, on behalf of U.S. corporate interests. Is this where you want your hard-earned tax dollars to go?
Finally, Yugoslavia was a relatively successful socialist country under Tito and therefore a threat to the ideological hegemony of the U.S. Starting in the 1989, the IMF and the World Bank (both controlled by U.S. financial interests), forced Yugoslavia to largely dismantle their public sector. This, along with U.S.-sponsored economic sanctions, has resulted in the disintegration of much of the Yugoslav economy, their GNP falling by as much as 50% from 1990 to 1993. This in turn has led to extreme poverty, mass unemployment and the flaring up of ethnic tensions which had been under control since World War II.
In fact, this has been the U.S. plan since the fall of the Soviet Union in 1989. At that point it became clear to U.S. geopolitical planners that the Yugoslav government (unlike the other Eastern European "socialist" governments imposed by force after WWII) was not going to voluntarily give up the gains they had made under the 45 years of Marshall Tito's independent socialist government. Therefore it had to be forcibly dismantled so that big business interests could have complete and unfettered access to all of the region. In the Foreign Appropriations Bill of 1990 the U.S. Congress, without warning or justification, stated that all aid, credits or loans from the U.S., the IMF and World Bank to Yugoslavia would be cut off in six months.
Also demanded in this bill was separate elections in each of the six Yugoslav republics, including U.S. State Dept. approval of election procedures and results, before aid to the separate republics would be resumed. Six months later, to the day, the current period of civil war began, starting with the secession of Croatia and Slovenia, then the ethnic cleansing of hundreds of thousands of Serbs out of Croatia (with U.S. aid and approval and without a murmur of protest from U.S. media) and the civil war in Bosnia, in which the U.S. found it convenient (but totally biased) to demonize the Serbs, as they are again being demonized in Kosovo. Thus much of the blame for the suffering leading up to the present situation in Kosovo can be put squarely at the door of the U.S government and the corporate interests who are its real policy-makers

Americans are not a heartless people but we have been trained to accept our government's stated positions (endlessly repeated in the mainstream media) as being the gospel truth. But you don't have to be one of the sheep. Find other sources of information about the realities behind the official "news". Read Noam Chomsky, Michael Parenti, Z Magazine and The Nation and listen toPacifica radio stations if you have one in your area. For in-depth information on Kosovo, check out ZNet on the Internet at www.lbbs.org and Ramsey Clark's International Action Center at www.iacenter.org., two marvelous resources for alternative articles on many subjects. You owe it to your fellow man to find out the truth of what your tax dollars are doing in Yugoslavia and around the world.

  • Yes, real criminals or on the loose, for now. Kosovo Albanians do not understand that they are being used for advancement of this Global Agenda. Once they are no longer needed they will be in a big surprise....

    The most interesting part is yet to come.

  • absolutely true!

    you can suppress the truth for only so long, but eventually it has to come out, because, the truth can stand on her own!

    we now know that ICTY was created for sole purpose of covering up the crimes that were committed on people of Yugoslavia by the Western Powers. If you look behind Western Powers you will see a cabal that is hell-bent on World Takeover and they believe that End Justifies Means.
