Reflections] L ?v. by Alta Nye Oxendine JJ Let's keep the people who h;tsc been traumatized by the killing in that Colorado high school in our pravers. along with refugees and others cvcrywhere who arc being persecuted Yugoslavia Concerning the Serbs. b> the tunc other republics were hoping to gain their independence from Yugoslav ia. there were many Serbs living in those republics They were naturally against being politically separated from their families still living in Serbia So they were willing tc light to keep their homes and to keep things the way they were (It was the Serbs, not the Croat inns who resisted the Nazis during the second World War ) li was easy lo gel the Serbs in Croatia and Bosnia 10 fight against other ethnic groups in those republics. Also lo get most Serbs in Serbia to fight lo regain the pro\ inec of Kosovo There was at least one group in Serbia who were opposed to Milosevic and who earned on fcvcrcnt demonstrations against him a few years ago Our country did not get involved at that tunc' Trusting ( ommunist /.coders In the early nil's I thought former president George Bush and his administration were far to naive and trusting when it came to "former Coniiiuinisl" leaders' In fact. I believe THAT, administration may be partly, indirectly, responsible for the fact that Mikhail Gorbachev is (according to what I've heard) now living in California, at least part of the tinic Though he is NOT held in \ cry lugh esteem in Russia. 01 by some of the rest of us. some Americans now consider Gorbachev to be an expert consultant on international matters' I'd ralhcrbc right than wrongabout Gorbachev But 111 spite of his charisma (or BECAUSE of il) I'm conv i need that he lias been on of the most successful FALSE manipulators of all time' Most members of our present adHiinisiralion including Madeline Albright (who as a girl, lived in Europe under Nazi and then later Communist control) seem tome to be acting like llicy don't have a CLUE as to how the international Communist _ 1 "Cull" has been operating lot over su ' scars' A career military man recently remarked thai, under communism, each child is "brainwashed" from age six Reminded me of the personal story told by Sergei Kourdakov in his book. The Persecutor Is there ANY presidential candidate out there who knows at least SOMETHING about what's really going on behind the false facades we keep seeing all around us'' I certain!) hope so' I believe EVERY single man or woman who considers running for president or for Congress should be required to "bone up" on the subject, instead of just assuming that the "House Committee" and Joe McCarthv were DEAD WRONG about any COMMUNIST THREAT in this country and elsewhere According to a new book based on the KGB files that were finally opened a few years ago to non-coiuniuinsls. McCarthy waslivcycarslool.ATE in hunting for conuiHinisI in the U S Government After Elisabeth Rent ley delected from the American Communis! Party mow CPUSA). Communists were quickly pulled out of government positions, according to the man being interviewed by Charlie Rose a month or so ago I was unable to gel dow n his name or the title of the book Can someone else fill me in on the name of the book and author'.' I waul to study the book when I can find time I think all of us should' Pri tnakov w ho seems lobe calling most of the shots in Russia because Y'cllsin's health problems is former head of the KGB there And yet. our own leaders act as though we can trust him to talk sense into Milososevic. a dictator who is a "former" Comnuinisl comrade (perhaps a PRESENT Communist comrade) vv ho now is said to belong to the "Socialist" Parly1 His wife; I've read, is still a mciiibci of the Communist Party By the way several years ago 1 asked Bruce Barton what he thought about Yugoslav ia. after he had visited that country vv ith other educators. His reply "I would hate to live in a Communist country!" Injured At No Fault Of Your Own?
