Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright was confronted at a Prague book signing by Serbian protesters who called her a “war criminal” according to this report (I could not hear it, maybe it was an Serbo-Croatian, the former language of Yugoslavia) and video!
But what Albright said in unmistakable English was an ethnic slur: She called the protesters “disgusting Serbs”; you can hear it for yourself in this video.
The Serbs had a point protesting. They were peaceful, if obnoxious, but it wasn’t my country attacked and divided for no reason, so I think they were actually polite considering. And Secretary Albright was an architect of the war with Serbia. An undeclared, unconstitutional war on a nation that was no threat to us nor attacked us. She should go apologize.
Both parties are implicated in intervention. And it needs to stop. There is always some sort of unintended consequences. Libya led to the war in Mali and now the “need” (my quote) for military intervention in Mali is being stirred up. Don’t fall for it. It’s none of our business. No Americans in Mali.
