Clinton’s Kosovo Frauds

by
AS AMERICANS DEBATE what President Clinton’s legacy should be, too little attention is given to his remarks on Kosovo. The United States launched a war against a European nation largely at Clinton’s behest. Clinton’s war against Serbia epitomized his moralism, his arrogance, his refusal to respect law, and his fixation on proving his virtue by using deadly force, regardless of how many innocent people died in the process. Clinton claimed on March 24, 1999, that one purpose of bombing Serbia (including Kosovo) was “to deter an even bloodier offensive against innocent civilians in Kosovo and, if necessary, to seriously damage the Serbian military’s capacity to harm the people of Kosovo.” The CIA had warned the Clinton administration that if bombing was initiated, the Serbian army would greatly accelerate its efforts to expel ethnic Albanians.

THERE IS A popular misconception that the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution refers to a collective right rather than an individual right. Both history and reason argue against this misinterpretation. The right to self- (and collective) defense does not originate with, nor is it dependent upon, the Second Amendment. Man has natural, unalienable rights. Among these are the rights to life, liberty, and property. If he possesses these rights, then he must also possess a right to defend them. If he has a right to defend them, then he has a right to the means with which to defend them. As the Supreme Court ruled in Miranda v. Arizona (1966): “Where rights secured by the Constitution are involved, there can be no rule making or legislation which will abrogate them.” Thus, the exercise of rights may not be regulated or taxed. Thomas Jefferson called this a self-evident truth.
