Socialist Party of Serbia
Head Committee
Belgrade, 11th October 2001
PRESS RELEASE
On the occasion of terrorist attacks in USA
and the military strikes by the Anglo-American
coalition against the targets in Afghanistan
and regarding the announcement of further
strikes against the targets in other
countries, Socialist Party of Serbia would
wish to recall it's consistent and principled
position advocated for a whole decade - that
terrorism is universal evil that endangers
peace and the utmost human values all over the
world.
That evil may be uprooted only by application
of equal treatment by all the international
factors regardless whether interests of a
small country or a big power are jeopardised.
The utmost danger in the treatment of
terrorism is application of double standards.
Any alliance with and/or an attempt to
manipulate terrorism represents crime of the
same magnitude as terrorism itself.
In the light of the latest developments,
special significance is gained by the fact
that Clinton administration supported
terrorists of the so-called KLA in Kosovo and
Metohia in 1998, and introduced them into the
machinery of the armed aggression against FRY.
That American administration was well aware
that Albanian terrorists were killing not only
Serbs, but also Muslims, Romanies, Gorany,
Turks as well as Albanians that did not
accepted separatist and terrorist blackmails.
It is clear that there is a direct
interconnection between Albanian terrorists
with the network of international terrorism
from Afghanistan and Chechnya via Egypt to
Algeria. Testimony to that is the fact that
Bin Laden visited Albania as one of the bases
of Mujahadin and Teleban.
Every state has the right to defend itself
against terrorism. Today, no one even
attempts to deny facts on the role of CIA in
promoting Bin Laden and Teleban. KLA's leader
Hashim Tachy hugs with Madeline Albright,
Wesley Clark and Tony Blair are also speaking
volumes. Terrorist in our region committed
crimes without precedent in terms of cruelty.
World supports defence of America against
terrorism, but expects USA to act within the
UN system, not to endanger civilians and to
respect the right of others to defend
themselves of the same evil.
Socialist Party of Serbia is putting across
the question - who is responsible for
thousands of victims of terrorism in Kosovo
and Metohia that were killed or went missing
at the presence of the 40.000 KFOR soldiers
and 30.000 members of UNMIK and various NGO's?
Who is responsible for spreading of terrorism
into the southern Serbian municipalities as
well as to the neighbouring Macedonia. Who is
responsible for no one facing the justice
while 1300 persons are killed and 1300
abducted in the course of last two years?
Our country and people are expecting equal
treatment of terrorism everywhere including
our region. President Milosevic defended his
country against terrorism and should be
released immediately, while the Hague
Tribunal, that is defending terrorists and did
not indicted no one of them - should be
disbanded.
Socialist Party of Serbia reiterates its
long-standing request to put a halt to all the
political, military and financial support to
Albanian terrorists that still represent the
utmost danger to peace at the Balkans.

STATEMENT
by Vladimir Krsljanin, International Secretary
and member of the Head Committee of the
Socialist Party of Serbia on the terrorist
attacks in the USA on September 11, 2001
Published in "Jutarnje novine" (Morning News)
daily, September 13, 2001
One should say at the beginning that terrible
crime took place, that deserves condemnation
and compassion with the families of the
innocent victims.
Who bears the biggest responsibility. No doubt
- America itself. We have already seen the
evidences that Osama bin Laden is listed as
CIA agent, that American secret services
invested billions of dollars in creation of
Taleban, that the same services created and
until now support "KLA" that burned the
Balkans, as they before had been creating
paramilitary units in Croatia and Bosnia, so
that America can have an excuse to occupy the
Balkans, that the same services have been
linked with all most severe forms of Islamic
fundamentalism and terrorism - in Algeria,
Chechnya, Afghanistan...
All these are consequences of the absolute and
uncontrolled power of money and profit, which
in its vampire conquest over the world, does
not care even about lives of Americans.
These events will certainly influence the
world. I hope that we will not face American
'Markale' and an attempt to increase the
fascization of the world. In that case, the
world will be soon united against USA. I
believe that leaders of the world are already
thinking and already sending signals that
absolute power must be limited and putted
under control, for the beginning. We don't
need any world policemen, but a system of
collective security and confidence, a system
which will affirm the sovereignty of the
nations and prevent any form of interference
in internal affairs. Only that will remove the
causes of international terrorism.

Total War
By Kosta Cavoski
After the recent war speech of American
president George Bush, things are looking
better for Serbian premier Zoran Djindjic. For
just as the insufficiently cautious Djindjic
blurted out the syntagm "total mobilization"
previously used by one of the founders of
totalitarianism, Ernst Juenger, so George Bush
on the behalf of the US declared "total war"
on international terrorism "to be waged with
all available means". If Bush read more or if
he at least had better educated advisors, he
would no doubt know that the phrase "total
war" (Der Totale Krieg) is the title of a
famous work by General Erich Ludendorf in
which [Carl von] Clausewitz's concept of war
as an extension of politics waged by other
means is inverted into the thesis that
politics is in fact an extension of war waged
by other means.
This, however, is not the only reference by
Bush to the tenets of totalitarianism. In his
historic speech before Congress, he warned
every country in the world that the time has
come to make an inescapable choice: "Either
they are with us or they are with the
terrorists". Informed persons will immediately
associate this with the simplistic division of
the world in prehistoric mythology into black
and white, good and evil, angels and devils,
friends and enemies.
According to this interpretation of the world,
one's own group, the embodiment of all that is
worthy and good, demands absolute
identification that neglects the existence of
internal differences, while the opposing group
is the incarnation of all the evil in the
world and thus deserves first excommunication
to be followed by complete obliteration. That
is exactly how George Bush is thinking when he
no longer permits neutrality because, as he
has already warned: either you are with us or
you are with the terrorists.
The third totalitarian characteristic of
Bush's speech is the enormous
disproportionality between the committed act
and the threatened punishment, as well as the
statement that no distinctions will be made
between the guilty and the innocent. When our
army and police responded to unprovoked
attacks by Arbanas [Albanian] terrorists in
the Presevo Valley [in the south of Serbia],
foreign factors, including the American
government, constantly warned our armed forces
that their response must be proportionate to
the attack and that innocent people must not
be killed, especially when terrorists are
shooting from houses with women and the frail.
This proportionality, however, is not binding
for the American government. Instead of
individualizing guilt and the guilty as he has
been persistently urging others to do, George
Bush has announced a total war using all
available means to include spectacular attacks
and constant bombardment until the enemy has
no shelter and no strength remaining. Even
more important, no reliable guarantees
whatsoever have been put forward that innocent
people will not also die during this process
of implementing justice
The criteria used by Bush in qualifying
certain armed groups as terrorists should be
cause for deep skepticism. While the Americans
themselves were arming and training Osama bin
Laden and the Talibans for battle against
Soviet troops in Afghanistan, the Talibans
were "liberators" and "patriots". When armed
Chechens attack the Russian Army in Chechnya
and hold every abducted foreigner as a
hostage, they are nonetheless a subjugated
ethnic minority that is legitimately fighting
for its national rights. When bin Laden's
terrorist network becomes active in the region
of Bosnia, Albania and Kosovo and Metohija,
then this is brotherly assistance to
imperilled Muslims, who are right in refusing
to live in states with a Christian majority.
When, on the other hand, the same terrorist
network hijacks American airplanes and kills
thousands of people in New York and
Washington, then this is a heinous crime
against whose perpetrators any and all means
may be used.
That is how we arrive at the American concept
of response to terrorist attacks: total war
without any previously established
resstrictions is allowable only when it is
waged by the Americans.
