Entry: Patrick Buchanan and the Necessary Book Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/patrick_buchanan_and_the_necessary_book#30272 Post contents: Original Jack, I never once claimed that Serbia bore no resposnibility for the events that led to WWI. But in fact they played a small role compared to - yes - the 'bungling' by ALL the great powers, Russia included. Becuase Russia's government (including the ministers who called many of the shots and the tsar) made poor choices is no reqason to declare the martyred Tsar Nicholas II a Jew-baitor or any such thing. I will also remind you that Tito was a Croat. In fact I will also remind you that the claims of Serbian Communism are way overblown. The fact is that vast majority of Serbian elite were anti-Communist. Tito's inner circle had NO Serbs - the two prominent ones were expelled by him for veering 'off path' (Rankovic, Djilas). His circle did, however, contain Croats, Slovenes, and a Jew. The Serbs are not innocent in the matter; they did allow much of the ordinary population to get duped and serve as a greater part of the armed forces. But again, the officer class was disproportinately non-Serbian in Communist Yugoslavia. If you want to talk about 1941, think about what I am saying here in terms of who 'came out on top' and connect some basic dots as to who 'overthrew' their king. As to Stepinac, I am open to explanations of historical fact. Believe me, I would rather it be that he not collaborated with the Ustasha, but the facts simply point the other way. How does one even explain the pictures of him and bishops at Ustasha gatherngs in seeming good spirits and in no way presenting a hostile front t Pavelic. If Pius saved as many Jews as is reported - and I believe he did - what is known abot Stepinac and what he did for Jews and Serbs in Croatia at the time? It was widely know then and there that a huge terror campaign had been launched. And what about the forced conversions carried out by MANY priests, as corroborated by not only eye-witness testiomony, but signed documentation. Are all these mountains of pictures of repeated gatherings and mountains of paperwork all the work of forgery committed by the Communists? Sent at: 2008 12 01
