(-: This explains everything. Now we know the real reason why NATO is

attacking Jugoslavia, bombing Pristina back to the Stone Age (which was

anyway recommended by General MacArthur back in 1947). But wouldn't it be

cheaper to try to buy it? I mean 1 Tomahawk Sidewinder Cruise Missile

cost's about 17 million American dollars. The Americanos have a strange way

of counting things, which pretty much goes like this: One for you, and two

for me.

Have a nice year everybody and let's hope the 3.WW won't start due to such a

silly mistake. :-)

After a devotee unnecessarily reposted so-called information about

some bogus Russian "inventions" purported to neutralize gamma rays,

strengthen the immune system, restore bodily balance (whatever that

may be), eliminate food odour, sweeten granola, teach people how to

sing like a nightingale, slice bread, julienne green beans and make

really good French fried potatoes, he stated that these marvellous

devices were only available in Yugoslavia. To buy them, one should

go to the back of Miroslav's Delicatessen between 7:30 a.m. and 8 a.m.,

knock four times, and ask for Bogudan. By telling him "Mikhail sent

me," and offering him either 100 million rubles or 100 American

dollars (whichever is greater), you too could be the first on your

block to neutralize gamma rays, etc. Naturally, no information was

provided on how to go back to home, back to Godhead, but since these

crazy thingamajigs enable one to live forever in the present material

body, there was no problem. I am always amazed at the GQ of some

devotees (You have heard of IQ, perhaps. Well, now I introduce the

Gullibility Quotient. The bigger the number, the more likely you are

to fall for some flim-flam artist selling the Snake Oil Du Jour.)

This is a very valid point. Although Milosevic is clearly demonic

in his appeal to the worst instincts of xenophobia and exclusivist

nationalism, the Balkan problems are not going to be solved by

aerial bombing. The statement in the Bhagavatam is that people who

are like hogs, dogs, camels and asses are interested in worshipping

the land of their birth (this seems to describe both the Serb and

Albanian communities in Kosovo, and the Israeli and Palestinian

communities in the Middle East.) As Stein-Erik prabhu points out,

enormous amounts of money are frittered away on military "solutions"

to civil wars arising from mutual mistrust. One wag pointed out once

in a similar vein as Stein-Erik that, in Vietnam, the United States

could have offered every man, woman and child in the country a

university education to the Ph.D. level and built for every one of

them a three-bedroom house -- all for LESS MONEY than was spent to

produce and use weapons to try to destroy the country. Where wouuld

the appeal of communism have been for a country filled with the

nouveau-riche? Alas, it was never tried.

 

On a more serious note, Germany and Denmark fought several wars

over the disputed Schleswig-Holstein territory. Whichever country

won a particular war would then annex the land for a time. Finally

some people saw sense and agreed to a referendum with sufficiently

fine granularity that the majority of people in each resulting zone

were happy with the eventual outcome. Coupled with a lengthy time

period to sell property (for those who really, really wanted to be

in a different country than the one their zone would end up in) it

made for a relatively tranquil adjustment.

 

In Kosovo, of course, now that the dacoits in the pay of Milosevic

have begun actually driving people out of their homes, and sometimes

torturing, raping and killing them, the hope for such a sensible

solution seems to be receding rapidly. For a devotee who knows

that all beings are subject to four defects (imperfect senses, and

tendencies to commit mistakes, to cheat and to be illusioned), and

that all beings are subject to birth, death, old age and disease,

and that Krsna is residing in the hearts of everyone, it is

preposterous and bizarre to favour one ethnic group over another.

 

We can only pray for the unfortunate people of the entire region

that they may be persuaded to bury old ethnic hatreds once and for

all, and especially for the devotee community that Lord Krsna will

spare them from being dragged into the communal struggle, and

protect them from the NATO bombs.

 

 

With all best wishes,
