So if any of the nutters who had their .......... um .....issues ....... running before 2000 decide to kick off again in parts of the world you aren't bothered about, will that come under the title "The Other Local Tiffs that Started in Earlier Times" ??
Well, just in case you don't know - US started a big war in 1999 to support terrorists against police forces trying to fight them.
In Autumn, 1998, the US Senate declared Kosovo Liberation Army a "terrorist organisation". In Spring, 1999, NATO forces led by the US started criminal agression against Yugoslavia supporting the same KLA terrorist gangs.
The "war on terrorism" is nothing more then another "newspeak" slogan. US officials made statements supporting former Georgian regime that sheltered Chechen terrorists in Pankisi gorge. US department of state makes "consultations" with Chechen terrorists representatives. US supports Emir of Quatar, who openly hosts Chechen terrorists declaring them his personal guests. UK gives "political shelter" to Akhmed Zakayev, who is on NATO "known terrorists" list...
Conclusion: "war on terrorism" is nothing but another media propaganda slogan. Another example when all the steam goes into the whistle. Effort spent on rising this media hype is several times bigger then real actions in this "war".
Stay tuned and listen to this speaches that distract your attention when some people "up there" are making their dirty business.
I am surprised that so many intelligent people take everything that clowns from DC say so seriously. Just like in Soviet times: discussing the decisions of the latest Party congress.
