I can't blame G. W. Bush, I don't blame B. Obama, I blame us (collectively). Since when is it that our entire country has undergone such a massive lobotomy?

We no longer raise our voices. The jobless rate is threatening to get out of hand. Bailouts became the order of the day - (in a free market economy?). What sense does that make? None, and nobody is doing anything about it.

Our patriotism commands us, not only empowers us to act. To sin by silence when they should protest makes cowards of men - as in Abraham Lincoln's view. The only tool at our disposal is DISSENT - and we are not only doing nothing - we have eliminated it - in fear of "terrorists" and God knows who else. We are in a state of continual paranoia. All in the name of on-going wars in the Middle East - the Taliban, Shmaliban, I don't know who else. If you see somebody with a turban - they are an enemy. Not so fast. Certainly we have enemies, but that should not stop us from protecting our country from our government - as in Edward Abbey's remarks. Otherwise, we'll let things go as they always did - unchecked.

A very good start will be to start holding individual accountable. ADL should start a legal action against Richard Holbrooke who made numerous promises to the countries in the Balkans that lead to the 1999 illegal NATO raid on Serbia. Bill Clinton should be held liable for not getting the Congress to approve the Act of War (as our Constitution demands), but starting the illegal, unjustified war (in both former Yugoslavia and the Middle East). The invasion of Iraq (under the false pretenses of some phantom WMD (by G.W. Bush), should also be brought to some sort of a legal conclusion.

Each time we go out and bomb the living daylights out of some country we have besmirched out good name (we are no longer a country of liberties, but a Nazi bully), we create endless list of enemies.

Before I became an American citizen, Lawrence Eagleburger was the American Ambassador in Yugoslavia - and it was his signature on my passport and my LEGAL entry to the United States. Some 8 years ago, he was a guest on an NPR broadcast, I was the first caller - and I got through. I asked only one clear question to which I got nothing but hogwash as an answer.

My question was: Sir, isn't it true that each time we (as a country) embark on some military mission overseas - we end up creating generations of hostile residents - even counting the unborn who will be told the stories of American military attacks on that county?

His answer was: Today, America has more visa application than any country ever had. We remain very popular all over the world and people are streaming into the United States at record rates.

Naturally with the radio the way it is, I was not allowed to call him an evasive LIAR who pretended not to understand the question. The results are terrible. Our continuous policy of waging "limited wars", is an everyday event. We could have learned from Korea that these wars do not solve anything they only cost American lives - but NO, we didn't learn that. We repeated the same mistake in Viet Nam - lost more American lives. Not enough. We bombed Yugoslavia and the number of American losses are a closely guarded secret in spite of clear signs that there had to have been serious losses.

Even that wasn't enough. We went into Stupidistan and Iraq - the losses continue to mount. We continue to stay silent. Where is there some legal action against those who forced us into these stupid wars?

Sounds a little bit like Richard Nixon getting caught red-handed and Gerald Ford issuing a pardon within the next 12 months. Who's kidding who? Who is held liable for what? What of the sworn Oath of office to uphold, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States?

The 1999 was the year of the Devil, not only has the United States (Bill Clinton) acted against its own laws, they dragged NATO to ignore their own charter of non-aggression. Since the losses were massive they were simply hidden. Here is a short list:

NATO aircraft losses - summary

These are official figures released by Yugoslav command regarding NATO losses. RV & PVO information was released by Yugoslav command (by General Dragoljub Ojdanic, Chief of General Staff of FRY Army) on June 15, 1999, so it's the most recent information available. But again these numbers include only RV & PVO kills (Air Force and Air Defenses). Information about FRY Navy kills was released by FRY Navy Commander, Milan Zec, on 06-10-99. And the information about NATO aircraft downed by the Third Army was released by the Third Army Commander, General Nebojsa Pavkovic, on 06-12-99. Information about NATO aircraft downed by the 2nd Army was released by Major General Spasoje Smiljanic in his interview to Politika newspaper at the end of April. Information regarding aircraft shot down by the 1st Army was provided by General Ninoslav Krstic in his interview for the "Vojska" magazine on May 24, 1999.
