REFERRING to Kosovo on the BBC on April 19, Foreign Secretary Robin Cook asked who made these people refugees and who made them homeless?

Then he accused Serbia's Slobodan Milosevic of being responsible, conveniently forgetting that it was he, Bill Clinton, Tony Blair, George Robertson, etc, who have ordered the bombing, not only in Serbia, but Kosovo as well. So this murderous alliance is very responsible.

There are too many lies being told from both sides, but the majority are from the alliance. They even had the audacity to blame the Serbs for the attack on the two civilian convoys.

If it was the other way round, they would have been screaming to the world for retribution. Very good liars, the Yanks.

It's OK for Blair and Co, I suppose, to allow this country to be dragged into a war by Clinton and his warmongers, but we will see what happens if they try to invade a sovereign country. Russia will not stand idly by.

Is it not a fact that Bulgaria a few years ago drove more than a million Muslims out and over the border into Turkey? Where was the great USA then?

I would advise the USA to sort their own country out before the world realises the massive ethnic cleansing they perpetrated, and are still practising, with regards to the native Indian. This has been going on for more than 200 years. The Americans have had plenty of practice with ethnic cleansing. Why didn't this alliance do something about the Muslim invasion of East Timor, when Indonesia slaughtered and desecrated half the Catholic native population, men, women and children, with weapons supplied by this country? It is still going on.

What about the Sudan where the Muslims have been killing Catholic men, women and children for the last 15 years because they wanted to practise Christianity? Not a word from our leaders.

Perhaps they were too busy supplying arms. What a two-faced lot of leaders this country has.

One accused Milosevic of using jailbirds in his army to attack the Kosovars. That same leader forgets the 'Black and Tans' this country used against the Irish and committed atrocity after atrocity. So perhaps he should keep his mouth shut.
