NEW! War on Yugoslavia: a Personal Odyssey (June 1999)

End the Bombing of Yugoslavia

Subject: End the bombing of Yugoslavia

To:  Prime Minister Jean Chretien:

Subject: End the bombing of Yugoslavia.

I am a very concerned Canadian citizen.  For the past week, I have tried to understand why my country is at war for the first time in my lifetime, … and without even a debate in Parliament.  This is what I see.

The NATO attacks on Yugoslavia have had several predictable results:

• - The overnight rout of all internal liberal opposition to Milosevic, and a concomitant strengthening of his position in Yugoslavia.
• -The departure from Kosovo of all humanitarian and human rights organizations, as well as Western reporters.
• - An inflaming of already-boiling nationalist sentiments, now fortified by anger and terror.

War's usual and expected accompaniment of lies, "disinformation", mindless patriotism, terror and confusion give cover to thugs of all colours: Serbian paramilitary units, Albanian KLA terrorists, criminal opportunists, and others yet to come.

As a direct result of the actions of Canada and NATO:

• - More civilians are dying.  Daily Serbian civilian casualties now likely exceed the rate of Albanian casualties before the attack began. And no one has any way to know how many more Albanians are dying than before.
• - Kosovar Albanians are being forced from their homes at dramatically increased rates.  Neighbouring countries are being overwhelmed.
• - Yugoslavia will be further demoralized and impoverished, making life worse for all ethnic groups, for years after the bombs have stopped killing.
• - The possibility of peaceful coexistence in the Balkans has been even further eroded.  Attempting to force upon Kosovo, a political arrangement that neither side would accept, NATO is unlikely to achieve a result it would want.
• - There is evidence that depleted uranium from exploded NATO ordnance may endanger the lives of the next generation in Yugoslavia:  environmental contaminants will injure or kill Serbian and Albanian children without discrimination.

Mr. Chretien, you do not have the support of all Canadians in this venture. Church leaders, columnists and a few courageous politicians have criticized the NATO attacks.  Around the world, NATO has many more reasoned and horrified critics.  (You can see a sampling of them at < http://www.antiwar.com >.) [And below, editor's note.]

More dangers lie ahead of us:

• - A prolonged conflict, with heavy losses on both sides:  history predicts, and the evidence is mounting, that NATO will be drawn into a bloody ground war in the mountainous regions of Yugoslavia.
• - Escalation of the conflict:  NATO has stated that this action is necessary to prevent the spread of war.  Adding the first dozen nations to the war was NATO's doing.  Now, we risk the intervention by both Russia and then Moslem nations, possibly leading to further wars along Russia's borders.
• - Copycat crimes:  both terrorists and interventionist nations will be emboldened by this precedent to attack their enemies in the name of peace. There are dozens of hotspots around the world that could be ignited.  Will our soldiers be fighting in all of them?

I used to believe that the Canadian government was given to more reasoned and moral approaches than bombing a country's citizens to liberate them from a dictator.  Our voice for peace in world conflicts has been sadly diminished.  Perhaps there are no perfect answers.  There were, and are, better courses of action than the blood-stained one you have embarked us upon.  End Canada's involvement and the NATO attacks now!

And here's my thinking 3 months later. War on Yugoslavia: a personal Odyssey

"Clinton gave three reasons for his military intervention in the heart of Europe. A quick look shows them to be models of the state disinformation we've come to expect in wartime.

First, he says he is dropping bombs to prevent the spread of war. But this is straight out of Orwell. Escalating war does not prevent its spread. It encourages it. It brings about more property destruction, suffering, and death. It inflames tempers, entrenches positions, sows indelible hatreds, and draws others into long-lasting conflicts.

Second, he says he wants to curb the ability of Milosevic to build up his defenses and enforce Serbian territorial claims. This line was copyright at the beginning of the ten-year war on Iraq. Substitute the name Saddam and it's a perfect fit. This policy plays right into the hands of the respective country's leader, making him more popular than ever and unifying the people against the foreign aggressor. Incidentally, how many days before we hear that Serbia is building "weapons of mass destruction"?

Third, Clinton says he wants to underscore the credibility of Nato. The truth is that Nato has had no credibility since the collapse of the Cold War took away its official reason for existence. The entire world now sees this organization for what it is: a fig-leaf for US imperialism. Nato has become a threat to peace in Europe because the US believes Nato must fight wars to preserve US hegemony." (from "The Lies of War" by Llewellyn H.Rockwell, Jr. at the Mises Institute.)
