 I'd get a bit worried if anything I wrote was featured on any bourgeois
 state's official website.

Paul raises an interesting question - just what is Yugoslavia ( or Serbia)

On SPANISH FORENSICS article - I believe they featured it because it defends
Serbia against false charges of genocide.  It takes no position on the
transofrmation of bourgeois society, though it does make mincemeat of the US
government, which deserves it

b) What's more interesting is that they also posted  my A TRULY HEROIC
RESISTANCE which criticizes the FRY's decision to sign the June 8th 'peace'
agreement, predictng that signing it would lead to fascist terror and the
further consolidation of imperial rule in the Balkans.  See
http://www.mfa.gov.yu/index.htm
right side of page under Editor's Choice.  (Actually, there are three other
articles under FRY's  'Editor's Choice' - almost all in fact - that appear on
EC as well.  Maybe I should be REALLY worried...)

c) Is Yugoslavia a bourgeois state?  If so, was it under Tito when it was
militarily in bed with US and later when in bed with IMF???  Has it changed
for the worse now that it is NOT in bed with either but being attacked
ferocisiouly by both?? Is the fact that (according to bourgeois press) one of
reasons for Clinton admin's hatred of Milosevich gov't  is its unwillingness
to privatise - is this of any relevance?  Did you know one of the provisions
of Rambouillet accord was introduction of pivate property system in Kosovo?

d) How does Serbia  differ from Spain during the Spanish Civil War?
Romanticization (not to mention spelling) aside.  (Isn;t there a good deal
more social ownership in Yugo than there was in Spain?  Isn;t the assault of
the capitalist west on Yugo more open and united than it was on Spain??
Didn''t Yugo have  thousands of  Guernica's? Note, by the way, that SPANISH
forensic scientists and pilots have blown the whistle on NATO...maybe they
are telling us something

d) I recommend to all reading GreG Elich's analysis of what's happened in
Bosnia
 http://www.emperors-clothes.com/Articles/elich/bosnia.htm
where he has quotes from US government sources talking about how in Repulika
Srpska the "Serbian Nationalists" have fiercely resisted privatization
(including attempting trickery to maintain it) and how the West uses the
tactic of threatening them with Croatia (i.e. genocide) if they don't give
in.  How would you stand on that one, Paul?

e) Would you defend Yguo, including its elected gov't (with all its
weaknesses) against US attack while calling for social transformation - would
you defend (or not?) forms existing now that LOOK socialist - or would you
call for turning this into a civil war (which would, alas, be same line as
that of US government, see THE BOSS CALLS FOR CIVIL WAR at
http://www.emperors-clothes.com/misc/civil.htm
