"PRESIDENTS DAY
Malcom Lagauche
Presidents Saddam Hussein and Slobodan Milosevic defied Washington
February 20, 2007
Today is Presidents Day in the United States. This federal holiday is in honor of the lives of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. The first is called "the father of our country," and the latter is credited with "freeing the slaves." Both statements, under scrutiny, leave a lot to be desired as far as the truth is concerned, but that’s another subject.
Lincoln was obsessed with keeping the United States intact. Some southern states left the U.S. and started their own country, the Confederate States of America. Keeping the U.S. intact from breakaway groups is sacred to the U.S. public. There is no better cause.
In 2006, the world lost two presidents: Slobodan Milosevic and Saddam Hussein. The West denigrated both to the point that they were depicted as psychopathic, sadistic subhumans. What was their crime? Trying to keep their countries in intact.
Let’s start with Milosevic. When he came to power as the president of Serbia in 1989, little was said about him. Then, in 1991, the country of Yugoslavia, that consisted of a federation of several republics, began breaking up.
Various wars broke out between differing factions. Milosevic tried to keep the republics together, but was unsuccessful.
The bloodiest fighting came in Bosnia, which eventually became a country with several autonomous sections. Many Bosnian Moslems were killed by the Serbian Bosnians. Many Bosnian Serbs were killed as well.
In 1995, Milosevic was called upon to mediate and he signed a peace agreement ending the conflict in Bosnia. He was heralded as a peacemaker.
His actions soon were forgotten and the U.S. began to demonize him. In 1999, his country was ruthlessly bombed by NATO. He was accused of slaughtering tens of thousands of Moslem citizens of Kosovo, a province of Serbia.
Eventually, Milosevic was charged with war crimes and he was taken to the International Court in the Hague. Every once in awhile, we saw a clip or two about the trial, but little else.
Milosevic represented himself and, over the space of four years, the vast majority of witnesses called against him were dismissed as lying. The trial was coming to a conclusion and many speculated that Milosevic would be acquitted. Then, he sensed something was wrong. He maintained he was being poisoned by his jailers. Shortly after, he died. Tests were begun on his body but they quickly ended. The tests showed traces of some elements that could have caused him to have a heart attack. The U.S. version was that he was poisoning himself so he could get permission to go to Russia for treatment and then he would disappear. That scenario constitutes a wild story. Many close to Milosevic indeed thought he was poisoned because he would have been found innocent.
After he died, information began to surface that the charges were bogus. Instead of having found tens of thousands of ethnic Albanian Kosovo citizens in mass graves, the number was reduced to 300. Under further testing, these were shown to be fighters for the Kosovo Albanians and were killed in battle against the Serbian army, not taken away from their homes and assassinated.
Most of the Kosovo Albanian fighters had been to Afghanistan when it was under Taliban rule and took courses from Al-Qaida. The same people Milosevic was jailed for killing are the same people that today the U.S. is fighting in Afghanistan. If a U.S. soldier kills one, he is given a medal, not sent to prison.
We know more about Saddam Hussein’s plight because it received more publicity. In 1982, a band of Iraqis who fought on the side of Iran during the Iran-Iraq War, tried to assassinate Saddam. Twenty-four years later, Saddam was hanged by the same traitors.
In 1991, Saddam Hussein put down simultaneous insurrections: one by Kurds in the north of Iraq; and one by certain Shia elements in the south of the country who owed their allegiance to Iran. After, Saddam was labeled as a butcher.
In late 2003, the U.S. and U.K. announced that more than 400,000 bodies had been found in mass graves in the south of Iraq. On July 18, 2004, Tony Blair admitted to the press that this figure was wrong. There were fewer than 5,000 bodies found and many were those of Iraqi soldiers killed in the U.S. bombing of Iraq in 1991. Not one word of his statement was reported in the U.S. press.
There are many common aspects of the lives of Saddam Hussein and Slobodan Milosevic. In the West, they were depicted as brutal thugs who killed hundreds of thousands of people and who were universally hated by their people.
Both shared the same brutal attacks on their families. Milosevic’s house was leveled by U.S. bombs. Fortunately, no one was in it. Saddam Hussein, his two sons, his grandson, and two half-brothers were killed by the U.S. On the first wave of strikes of "Shock and Awe" in March 2003, Saddam’s wife and daughter were prime targets. The U.S., who prides itself in "family values," is obsessed with killing the families of its adversaries.
Many people of the world do not share the same attitude about Saddam Hussein as the U.S. public. After Saddam’s hanging, tens of millions of people took to the streets in various countries to show their disgust at the U.S. and their admiration for the former Iraqi leader. Brazilians, Pakistanis, Jordanians, Indians, Egyptians, Syrians, Palestinians, Cubans and people of other nationalities marched. Libya declared a three-day mourning period.
Despite the massive amount of propaganda against both leaders, their own people did not think of them in the same manner as the West portrayed them. Just ask any U.S. soldier today in Iraq.
One week before Saddam was hanged, a survey stated that 90% of Iraqis said they were much better off under Saddam than under the occupation and stooge government. Recent elections in Serbia were won by the Radical Party, an ally of Slobodan Milosevic.
Lincoln was a hero for his war actions to force the South to come back to the United States. At the end of the U.S. Civil War, the North plundered and destroyed the South in a brutal manner. This was victor’s justice.
On Presidents Day, remember the two who died in 2006 for their unpardonable crime: they did not succumb to Washington’s orders.
