NATO bombing of Serbia

March 29, 1999

Lately America's message has been that violence can be used to achieve peace as long as the targets of the violence are out-groups like Iraqi Arabs and Serbian Slavs.

Bombing for peace is like having coitus for virginity. Something like that aphorism was circulated in a more vulgar form during the Vietnam era, but Klinton and broad segments of the Woodstock Generation now running the Democrat Party seem to have forgotten it or, more likely, sent it down the already vastly crowded memory hole of George Orwell.

On Sunday March 28 one of the major networks headlined its coverage of NATO's aerial bombardment of the Serbs, "War for Peace." I had to rub my eyes to be certain I really was reading those words on the newsie's TV screen and that this wasn't actually a commercial for "Saturday Night Live" or some other comedy show. But the network was in earnest. This is the Orwellian name they are giving to their news coverage of NATO's onslaught.

In Orwell's prophetic novel, "1984," one of the slogans of the militaristic Big Brother tyranny which takes command of one half of the world is, "War is Peace." It appears that Orwell's dystopia is here, operating out of the Rockefeller Center media hub in New York City even as the New York-based media sneer at Belgrade television as "state propaganda." But what could be more propagandistic than declaring that war is peace or that one may bomb civilians to achieve peace?

Klinton has attempted to sell the American people on the idea of the instant war and the quick fix, a strategy that might work well in a war on Disneyland, but is a pathetic joke in relation to the Serbian nation whose ancestors fought Ottoman-Turks for five centuries and whose saints, patriarchs and ikons are steeped in the lore of resistance and martyrdom.

If Klinton and Co. had really wanted to pacify Yugoslavia they should have done it the more traditional American way, by infusing fiber optic cables full of video porn, creating a stock market, marketing junk food and importing millions of unassimiable "minorities" from Asia, Africa and Latin America. Perhaps then the Serbs might, in a few decades, deteriorate to the level of contemporary Americans.
