Look, the bombing of Serbia was one of the worst things the U.S. has done since WWII. It was done without Congressional authorization. It was done without UN authorization. It was supposedly a NATO deal. But let's not get into the moral equivalency argument here. Milosevic caused a lot of the problems. He was a communist who then became a nationalist in order to hold onto absolute power. He was a thug. From an American perspective, you have a phony nation to begin with that was only held together through totalitarianism, and when that began to crack, you had people killing each other right and left. "Bosnia" is likely to blow up again, and a lot of Americans believe we were suckered into it by the Europeans who often want us to do their dirty work for them. As for ORthodoxy, 99% of the American people have never heard of Orthodoxy and are clueless, absolutely clueless, that that even is in issue. As for the so-called Muslims in the region, they hired a high powered public relations firm on Madison Avenue which convinced Congress and the American people that they were the victims. And Americans love to come to the aid of victims. These are all factors in the equation. As for the future, Americans are not going to get involved militarily anymore in the region, at least we are not going to get involved in any more shooting. And the Serbian Orthodox are going to have to deal with the fact that migration has taken over in Kosovo. It's not the same place it was 500 years ago. If they were really smart, they would fund an American documentary team to come over and do a very high quality documentary on the problem, and show it repeatedly on American cable TV, instead of whining -- do something smart to effect public opinion. I met with a number of Serbs in the U.S. who told me there was going to be a war in Kosovo that would make Bosnia look tame by comparison, and when I suggested a documentary, I got blank stares. It's like, gee, if we actually did something positive, we wouldn't be able to whine and complain anymore.
