Dr. Trifkovic, whose reporting and analysis on the Serbian question has been excellent, details the diplomatic fumbles, evasions, and outright lies that led the West to gang up on Serbia and the Bosnian Serbs in the mid-90s.
Karadzic’s arrest is the finale of this thoroughly misguided affair. Like most examples of victor’s justice, its only long-term effect will be to give the Serbs another proof of the West’s bad faith, while whetting the Bosnians (and their supporters) appetite for revenge.
With terrorist Hashim Thaci running the show in Kosovo and Nasir Oric acquitted by the Hague just this month, it’s clear that the Hague Tribunal is just a NATO-led anti-Serbian operation by another name. This policy is at obvious cross purposes with the war against al Qaeda and the need for a united Europe and West in the face of Islamic extremism.
The West’s elites’ perrenial Russophobia has been the biggest reason this fight against al Qaeda and its allies has been so long, drawn out, and fraught with resistance. The fight against Serbia and the constant criticism of Russia are examples of an unnecessary “two front war” against both the Islamic and Orthodox world, even though our cultural similarities and interests in the Middle East are nearly the same as our Orthodox brothers and sisters. As children are murdered in Beslan and Kosovo, we are destroying the perpetrators camps in the hills of Afghanistan and the deserts of Iraq, even while giving them nation-states in the heart of Europe.

We shall regret what we have done to Serbia, and it shall be Serbia that laughs last.
I spent 9 months in Bosnia in ’95 enforcing the Z.O.S. with I.F.O.R. I worked Ethnic Cleansing sites, pulling babies out of farm wells. I lived in a Hummer in the middle of winter trying not to run over Serbian land Mines. Not so sure I agree with you. But who am I? Just a guy who was there.
Serbia never laughs last, when she laughs at all. But she has a way of making others weep with her.
Well, Adam, did you talk to any of the hundreds of thousands of Serbs expelled from the Krajina, that was going on around ’95 with NATO’s tacit approval.
As a conservative, don’t you agree that an Obama win would be good for the country? It would remove blacks’ excuse for their poor attitude. Not that most of them would change their behavior, but it would show that if a black person has a good attitude and strives for success in life, white America will accept her. Obama is the anti-Jesse Jackson, and this is good. A vote for Obama is a CONSERVATIVE thing to do for the longterm good of the nation.
