The New Military Humanism: Lessons From Kosovo

This book is about how bad the New Military Humanism really is. It is very radical. Proof first, American helped a lot of atrocities happened in many countries, they attacked Kosovo because Kosovo is politically against U.S., not for humanism reasons. Because if they helped Kosovo for humanism reasons, they would have helped other conuntries too. Proof two, the U.S. made the situations in Kosovo worse. Before the bombing, U.S. knew that there will be more ethnic cleanse if U.S. bombed Kosovo, but they did it anyway. Most of the cleanse happened after the bomb, not before it! So the bombing did not save the people from been killed, but killed more people and destroyed the whole economy of that country. ----------------- But I did not agree with this book, I think what the U.S. did was right. Bombing killed people, but that was the best thing we could have done. We punished the dictatorship of a evil government, by doing that we also warned every other countries in the world that no one will get away with ethnic cleanse! And also, I believe the intention of The U.S. government and the support of U.S. people in this war are justice. Cliton did not send U.S Air Force to Kosovo because he wanted to kill more people, but to save people. The war was right.

I think that it is a bit sickening that serbs and their sympathizers misuse this book to claim that ethnic cleansing of Kosovar Muslims did not take place and "poor" Serbia was unjustly targeted. From what happened in the Bosnian war, it is clear that serbs are racist thugs who if they could, they would exterminate all muslims with the push of a button. It is true, as Chomsky contends, that the USA and NATO absolutely did NOT interfere for humanitarian purposes; rather the massacres were a pretext to do their dirty work for ulterior motives. But to say that serbia was a victim here, well, I think that is disingenious. I wish serbs would start thinking about their animosity and murderous hatred towards Balkan muslims ("Turks") and maybe start to come to grips with their endemic racism. ST

For those who do not know,Moss scale is level of hardness amoung minerals-upper scale mineral can scratch the lower scale one,but not vice versa. Who can scratch Chomsky's yet another intervention contra Thug-cracy of all kinds, shapes and colours? Whatever perspective You take,its just impossible to justify the unjustifable-ideology named:eat hamburgers,wear jeans,..else! Thumb down for Jihad called value promotion! Thumb up and cheers for yet another victory of truth-over Natosaurus-a specie that is endagered-suffocated in its own words and deeds-in its Balkan fiasco.Restore true meaning of being citizen-not a zombie.Amazing,fascinating....unscreatchable!And I hope-not unique blow to "patriotic assaults" exemplified with "NATO's Enlighteening Burden".Remember 80's with theirs "Rambo".90's with their "Independence Day"?The mentality criticised by Chomsky-Transcription of Kitsch-Kultur-into indolence of conformism-is and will be triumphant form of moralising-if we fail to join Chomsky's "Strugle that goes on..". Power to People,now and forever! This book just proved that Orwellism is not utopia...but neither is Chomsky ability to crack the machine.Read between lines,the lines and about lines....and you will pass trough twilight zone of new "soft totalitarism"-and hopefully dismiss it yet as another bizzare chapter-"the best possible *ism"-BEFORE it enters history.

Why all forms of genuine pacifism are sometimes criticized and labeled with etiquetes whose function is discreditation of the author,when within mr.Chomsky's works one can not find neither "right-wingism" or "left-wingism" but only TRUTH-wingism.Is perhaps lack of social action caused by the disregard for real reasons behind a conflict,which in turn is product of perception that "this is just another "press-buttons-and-win" war.Chomsky outlined what is know by anybody living in the Balcan-because societies there are highly political ones and what is happening in "neighboors yard" is very well known-that West undertook such military adventure that simply instantly reversed everything achivied in building post-cold war relations,simply because they wanted to crush down only country that did not accepted anexation into this allegedly defence alliance.Noam Chomsky is apealing to public concience with his illustrations how democracy evolves into dualistic system-and how antagonisms produced from such trend are turning "citizens" into "observers"-situation where politics is dominated by pragmatism,that always produces only domino-effect,therefore generating various forms of social crisis.In the case of Kosovo,clearly situation present in the middle east is almost duplicated-only the islamic enclaves of western balcan are playing the role of hammer in the hands of NATO-against Russian interest,and for establishing "green belt"-safe coridor for energetic resources. Ethnic Cleansing by Serbia was Fiction... KLA was created to provoke uprising,and not vice versa... Enormous "shocking facts" and "evidence" was fabricated...(do you remember the famous:"dear viewers,what you are going to see contains.." ? What NATO did and said was nothing short of Shakespearian "tale told by idiot"-and Chomsky offers wealth of hard facts,together with exegesis that is inclusive of entire situation...finnaly,after publication of this book,many of those facts,at first proclaimed "Belgrade's propaganda" are confessed by NATO-that everything was fiction-and that all they want are political puppets in Belgrade,like those instaled in neighbouring states.Only those who are brave enough will have power to stand by the truth expressed in this book-and liberate themselves from chains of devastating mind-controling propaganda.

Much has been said about that missunderstood part of the world-Balkan,and since late 19/early 20 century,Balkan has been synonimous with something ugly,crude,barbaric and desperately backward.Such fixed stereotypes had left such an "exotic" impression on everybody involved in policy making in this area that this lead to nothing else,but history of troubles,divisions and hatred-although Balkaners themselves had very highly developed sence for coexistence.With such "predispositions",horrible thing happened that claimed thousends of lives-so it is no wonder that nothing will improve without corect diagnosis of real causes,those who operate behind the scene.Initiative is not to be found amoung Balkaners themselves,since they were at best instruments of foreign strategies.Yes,Balkan is "powder-cage",but sparks are from outside.This is brought to light in this wonderfull and unbiased,objective and truthfull work by dr.Chomsky,that incorporates minimum, but crucial aspects of developments that had such tragedy as results.This is done with distinction that is caracteristic of Chomsky,but most important is approach that is instrumental,rather than narative,for only than word becomes deed- a good one!Hence such interest in social issues by linguist-because language is primary tool of action.Therefore,social issues cannot be viewed separately from mutual interdependence with linguistic.I can hardly imagine anybody left unimpressed by authors elaboration of western interest in keeping western Balkan under their umbrella,how do they invented "KLA"-collection of criminal elements from western narco-mafia circles,and fiasco of N.A.T.O. propaganda that derogated(and still derogates) their domestic public,while Balkan has been thoroughly devastated and fragmentated into dosens of states-protectorates,whose existence is at mercy of western financial circles.This book is triumph of common sence reasoning,over hatred and propaganda,and is a monumental contribution towards perception of things as they are-first step to reconciliation in the Balkan,but also reminder to ancient Balkan proverb:

"HEROISM IS THE POWER TO DEFEND YOURSELF FROM OTHERS,HUMANITY IS VIRTUE TO DEFEND OTHERS FROM YOURSELF"
