Serb Mother and Child... The New Parental Relationship

Kosovo on Sunday, illegally declared its independence from Serbia in a move that provoked violent reactions from its ethnic Serb minority (its only indigenous population) and demonstrators in Serbia, fueling a growing dispute between the "progressive" west and Russia.

The move by the troubled new country’s parliamentary assembly was met with joy by Kosovo’s ethnic Albanian squatter majority, which has sought independence since the territory came under United Nations administration in 1999.

Thus, the final betrayal of the Serbs - the West's only friends in the Balkans during World War II - is complete.  in 1999, America participated in a war against Serbians resulting in the slaughter of 5-10,000 pro American people. 

Kosovo will now be freely run by Jihadists who control the drug and prostitution rings of Europe.

The Clinton Administration proved that "liberals" don't mind war, just as long as it only killed European non-Moslems and George Bush seems to be of the same mindset when it comes to the Balkans.

Recognition of an independent Kosovo by the United States establishes a dangerous precedent.  It implies that if a state such as New Mexico, Arizona, California or Texas gains a majority population of Mexican illegals they can make a valid, internationally recognized declaration of independence from America.  It would certainly be consistent with our decision to recognize Kosovo as a nation independent from Serbia.

But the Serbs are a brave and honorable people with long memories.  They will eventually re-occupy the heart of Serbia, expel the Islamo-Nazi squatters and reclaim the heart of their native land.  Just as before World War I, the seeds of a global war may again have been sewn in that area.

June 2000- NATO ACCUSED OF WAR CRIMES

NATO violations of the laws of war during Operation Allied Force must be investigated.  NATO forces violated the laws of war leading to cases of unlawful killing of civilians, Amnesty International said today, one year after the end of Operation Allied Force against the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (FRY).

In a report released today, "Collateral Damage" or Unlawful Killings? Violations of the Laws of War by NATO during Operation Allied Force, Amnesty International examines a number of attacks indicating that NATO did not always meet its legal obligations in selecting targets and in choosing means and methods of attack.

"The 23 April 1999 bombing of the headquarters of Serbian state radio and television, which left 16 civilians dead, was a deliberate attack on a civilian object and as such constitutes a war crime," Amnesty International said.

"Civilian deaths could have been significantly reduced if NATO forces had fully adhered to the laws of war during Operation Allied Force," the organization added.

The laws of war include prohibitions on any direct attacks against civilians or civilian objects, and on attacks which do not attempt to distinguish between military and civilian targets or which, although aimed at a legitimate military target, have a disproportionate impact on civilians or civilian objects.

In various attacks, including the Grdelica railroad bridge on 12 April, the road bridge in Luñane on 1 May, and Varvarin bridge on 30 May, NATO forces failed to suspend their attack after it was evident that they had struck civilians. In other cases, including the attacks on displaced civilians in Djakovica on 14 April and Korica on 13 May, sufficient precautions were not taken to minimize civilian casualties. 

No proper investigation appears to have been conducted by NATO or its member states into these incidents. No measures were taken against anyone responsible except in the case of the attack against the Chinese embassy in Belgrade.

"NATO member states must bring to justice any of their nationals suspected of being responsible for serious violations under international humanitarian law," Amnesty International said.

" Other states and the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia should also investigate allegations of serious violations of international humanitarian law during Operation Allied Force." 

"The victims of any such violation must receive redress," Amnesty International added.

Among the report's other findings and recommendations:

-- NATO should adopt a mechanism to ensure a common interpretation of the rules of war that reflects the highest standards of international humanitarian law;

-- NATO's command structure and decision-making processes on target selection and assignment appear to contribute to confusion over legal responsibility; they must be clarified;

-- Aspects of the Rules of Engagement -- specifically the requirement that NATO aircraft fly above 15,000 feet to provide maximum protection for aircraft and pilots -- made full adherence to international humanitarian law virtually impossible. NATO must ensure that its Rules of Engagement fully comply with the highest standards of international humanitarian law, are common to all member states, and are made public to the maximum extent possible.

"Waging a coalition war is a complex endeavour and the judgments required of military planners and soldiers engaged in combat are particularly difficult. However, the most powerful military alliance in the world cannot afford but to set the highest standards of protection of civilians according to international humanitarian law," Amnesty International said.
