Born in Belgrade, I think of the millions of Serbs who looked upon France like their mother, their sister, their friend. Serbs are Southern Slavs. They are Slavs, that is, they move back and forth from total despair to the greatest joy. I agree with General de Gaulle. They are using their largest and smartest bombs to destroy our schools and hospitals, our museums and ancient monasteries, our heating plants and food factories, our bridges and dams.
Resistance is futile.
You will be assimilated. At the end of the twentieth century we live in a world where one country controls all the weapons, all the money and all the media. It can maim and kill and starve populations at will, and then, through the complacent media, deny fault. It can create kangaroo courts that selectively prosecute those who oppose it, courts that issue secret indictments and send armed troops into sovereign countries to kidnap and murder the accused. It can select with impunity which international laws and agreements are politically expedient to adopt or honor, or which to ignore.
