Ja iskreno mislim da ovakve clanke (obicna kopija milon ostalih clanaka napisana u istom stilu) ne trebe ni stavljati na ovaj sajt. Ne kazu nista pametno, samo standardna anti-srpska kampanja. Izgleda da smatraju da smo zaista glupi i da nas treba zaludjivati do besvesti, da bi smo poceli da verujemo da su nam oni svetlost za budicnost. S druge strane, mozda su vec i uspeli.

Twenty-five years after Serbian intellectuals and politicians began brewing the Serbs’ deep historical attachment to Kosovo into a toxic chauvinism that stoked years of war, Serbia is shedding virulent nationalism.

Virulent nationalism? What nonsense!

But what is "nationalism"? The normal meaning of the term is that other things being equal one has the attitude of preferring the well being of one's co-nationals rather than foreigners. But in the Serbian context the term simply depicts those who are not direct promoters of Western (in particular US interests). The term is utterly useless for any meaningful conversation about Serbia or any other place targeted by the West as it only has negative meaning connotation: nationalists are bad and what they say is wrong.

So, "virulent nationalism" simply refers to those the west virulently does not like.

And what must be the meaning of "nationalism" to make true the claim that 25 years ago SANU was hotbed of "Serbian nationalism"? The term would have to apply to all non-Americans who would dare insist on their own sovereignty and deny that only the US is a sovereign state. More nonsense, I am afraid.

Ovaj gospodin iz NY Times je se proslavio pisajuci ovakve subjektivne tekstove tokom protekle 2 decenije. Tipicna Zapadna anti-Srpska propaganda se lako uocava u ovom tekstu.

Članak je "bajat". I dobro je što ne vide i ne razumeju aktuelnu situaciju u Srbiji.
Milošević je bio dobar za zapad dok nije rekao ne kad je na red 98.godine došlo Kosovo. Delimični gubitak Kosova u to vreme je narod definisao kao poraz i to ga je koštalo vlasti i kasnije života. Đinđić je shvatio da će proći kao Slobo ako ne reši pitanje Kosova na donekle prihvatljiv način za Srbiju. Opet je Kosovo došlo glave prvom čoveku Srbije. Tadić se uplašio Đinđićeve sudbine i rešio da preda Kosovo. Međutim zaboravio je Slobinu sudbinu.
U Srbiji upravo počinje da se rađa patriotski pokret, po prvi put neopterćen ideologijom. Predvode ga intelektualci koji su shvatili da su glavni faktori na zapadu namenili Srbiji potpuno uništenje kao države ( samim tim i uništenje srpskog naroda). Uplitanjem FSB-a taj pokret će dobiti političku potporu kojoj će se prikloniti većina naroda. Sledi čvrsto vezivanje sa Rusijom i oslobađanje Kosova vojnim sredstvima. USA su već odustale od dominacije u svetu i neće se značajnije tome suprotstaviti. O Evropi i da ne pričam jer ih Rusija već rastura. U tim aktivnostima Srbija će imati i podršku nekih zemalja sa zapada, prvenstveno Italije.
Budućnost je svetla, samo je treba uzeti. To se već dešava.

Anyone objective and rational who has spent more than a few weeks in the United States knows that there is no people on the face of the Earth more truly nationalistic (NOT just "patriotic") than the Americans. If one points this out to average Americans, they are genuinely surprised, in a friendly way, that one would think they could be anything but. On the other hand, average Americans readily admit the existence of "virulent nationalists" in their country, but they would call such people "extreme right-wingers". However, both the "normal" and the "virulent" nationalists find little wrong with any US foreign policy action that benefits their country. And if that means calling people of some disobedient country "virulent nationalists" for gain, so be it. Of course, to the average American, Serbia simply does not exist and is of very little interest. They don't have a clue what havoc their country has created in this small, distant, poor, insignificant place.
