Help
"Murdering Macedonia," another article by Nebojsa Malic right on the money. How can anyone not be impressed by this young man's knowledge and ability. Malic speaks hopefully of help coming from the outside but he must know by now that there is no help coming. The empire will not allow that to happen and negate everything they have achieved through their lies and treachery in the Balkans over the last 10 years. Freedom is indeed lost.
Continue to carry the ball and tell those who will listen , the truth Nebojsa, if only because it's the right thing to do.

Nebojsa Malic replies:
My hope is not so much that help will come from the outside, but that the people who are themselves afflicted with Imperial plague will become aware of their predicament and do something about it. As it is said, those with their backs to the wall have nothing left to lose, and everything to gain. When I look at the Balkans today, I see lots of backs pressed against many a wall. Maybe the time has come for them to say "enough already." I certainly hope so.
Brains
[Regarding Justin Raimondo's column of August 10, "Harry Truman, War Criminal":]
You, unfortunately ... are one of the few people that has their head screwed on. Most of the others, "the clueless and the humorless" as you put it, either sit on their brains or carry them under their arm like the horseman in Ichabod Crane. This country should go down historically as one of the more vicious and offensive regimes, closely matching the tyranny of the Roman Empire. But at least the Romans did not use wars of attrition for their gains. It is with this horrible invention, that the Federal government pillaged and burnt the South; destroyed the livelihood, women and children of the plains Indians; fire bombed Tokyo and Dresden; napalmed the forest and villages of Viet Nam; the list is endless. The atrocities even spill over domestically where the "final solution" was applied to the Davidians in Waco.
The evil wrought by this country remains to be answered and I do believe that what goes around comes around. You can be assured that there will be a day of reckoning some day.
Thanks

Thanks for the insights.
Culturalism Card
[Regarding Justin Raimondo's column of August 10, "Harry Truman, War Criminal":]
You casually dismiss the Rape of Nanking, the Bataan Death March, the horrible atrocities inflicted upon people. Apparently, if you bring up these atrocities, you are now a "Japan basher."
Maybe you should pull your head out of the clouds for a moment and truly understand these events. Or maybe mentioning the killing of the Jews in Germany would make someone a "German basher." Your reverse racism is appalling and strives for an emotional argument rather than addressing hard facts as they are documented. In fact, by reaching for a race card, or a culturalism card, you employ a stagnant tactic that I would have bought into had I not been aware of the facts behind these, and other, atrocities.
...My grandparents were civilian "guests" of the Japanese during World War 2 and were subjected to some truly appalling treatment. The leader of their camp was marching them and others to be shot after years of torture and deprivation when the Japanese surrendered.
But you would dismiss their suffering to make a political point, where you can raise your head and crow to the moon that you, you are above the fray of barbarianism. But you stoop to the barbarianiasm you claim to despise by dismissing the suffering of others. You are, in your own way, no better than those who dropped the bomb.
Justin Raimondo replies:
If you are looking for someone to blame for the suffering of your grandparents, then try blaming Franklin Delano Roosevelt for getting us into a war that was none of our business.
Morals or Greed
[Regarding Justin Raimondo's column of August 10, "Harry Truman, War Criminal":]
I agree with you that we should not have been in that war but for different reasons, I think. Neither Japan or Germany would have been a direct threat in the near future even though they would have been competitors and possibly enemies at some later time. Is that enough to justify starting a war? Fight a war with a weak competitor now or possibly fight a war with a stronger one later? Depends on how strong your morals are or your greed is, doesn't it?
