Editorial
Kosovo a Victim of 'Humanitarian Concerns'
Yugoslavia was bound to lose the war from the very
beginning. How could a tiny Balkan state have enough
tools to challenge the US-led NATO? Not only
overshadowed by military strength, Yugoslavia was
"against humanity," as NATO officials observed. They
were committing "ethnic-cleansing" while the NATO
intrusion enjoyed the strong backup of "humanitarian
concerns."
After 78 days of intensive air attacks, Yugoslavia
signed a treaty to hand over Kosovo at the mercy of
NATO.
NATO indeed won the war and that result would be
denied by few.
Kosovo still makes the headlines and events there
continue to attract considerable media attention
worldwide.
But different from a year ago when the Western media
helped demonize Slobodan Milosevic and trumpeted
NATO's victory, the area's gloomy news is now splashed
all over the world.
What is happening there today?
Even NATO's own high ranking officials admit that the
mission in Kosovo remains difficult.
Many refugees are afraid to return as security in
Kosovo can hardly be guaranteed.
Trouble in such ethnic flashpoints as the divided
northern town of Mitrovica and Kosovo's boundary with
the Presevo valley in eastern Serbia continuously
threatens exodus.
"We see quite an organized campaign to intimidate the
non-Albanian population and drive them out of the
province," said Russian Permanent Representative to
the United Nations Sergei Lavrov during his visit
there last year.
The New York Times also reported that the burning of
Serbs' homes takes place in an organized fashion
almost daily, increasing the pressure on the Serbian
minority to flee the province or ghettoize itself in
enclaves.
Under resolution 1244, which was adopted last June 10
by the UN Security Council, the Kosovo Liberation Army
(KLA), the ethnic Albanians-dominated armed rebel
group, should be fully disarmed after the UN presence
in Kosovo.
But in reality, the residual influence of the
officially disbanded KLA equals, if not exceeds, that
of the international community in Kosovo.
Under the connivance of NATO, the KLA has not only
perpetuated the persecution of Kosovo's rapidly
dwindling Serb minorities, but it has even turned
hostile towards NATO-led peacekeepers.
It seems that the pledge of the West to create a
multi-ethnic Kosovo is an impossible mission.
Worse, Kosovo has been degraded into a haven for
crimes such as drug trafficking.
So it is clearly a war without a victor with
Yugoslavia as the biggest loser. After its loss of
effective control over Kosovo, Yugoslavia is forced to
face political and economic sanctions imposed by
western countries.
And economic reconstruction remains a formidable task
for the cash-strapped country.
During the war, NATO member countries, the United
States in particular, did not hesitate to squander
money to turn Kosovo into a showplace of their
advanced weapons. However, at a time when financial
support is urgently needed to rebuild Kosovo, they
duck their responsibilities.
In the westerners' eyes, Milosevic is to blame for all
because he was and remains against the will of the
West, who are the representative of justice. And many
believe the Serbs deserve all their troubles because
they chose to support Milosevic.
NATO's deliberate attacks on civilian targets and
infrastructure amounted to a serious violation of
international law.
NATO's recent confession that it used depleted uranium
weapons during the war is but another slap on an
already bruised face.
The question now is how an unjustified war could have
dominated media worldwide and those who were truly
guilty could be free from due punishment?
Power without restriction is dangerous. It is an
important conception in western politics. But in
regard to international affairs, western politicians
do not seem to be concerned.
Without certain regulations, any regional conflict
could balloon into a war so long as western
politicians find intervention profitable.
Nothing is easier than finding an excuse - anything
against their will is against reason or humanity.
