Like everything else, truth is also subjective. With each passing day it becomes more clear to me that this is a media war in which the Serbs cannot win because the outcome has been decided in advance.
All these refugees are so pitiful, their stories so touching and their tears so painful to watch...But where are 11 million Serbs? Aren't Serb mothers also stricken by grief and suffering, is their fear so unworthy of attention and is Serb pain so hard to sell by the media?
No, this is not a war, but a media spectacle in which the entire world follows only one side forgetting that the other is no demon from a horror story, emotionless, heartless, and without a right to life.
Maybe for some people history does not count, but for every Serb who loves his country, Serbia without Kosovo is a body deprived of a soul. Kosovo belonged to the Serbs even at the time when Europe was oblivious to the existence of a continent today called America.
To every single Albanian in Kosovo I can only say this: Maybe you are a majority in Kosovo, but in Yugoslavia you are members of an ethnic minority. I have spent almost all my life in the Netherlands. I will never have even a portion of the rights Albanians enjoyed in Kosovo. Such a life, such possibilities were never offered to any minority in any country in the world. This is what you had.
And now, when my country is bleeding and I bleed with it, I wonder whether anyone can ever understand what is really going on there. Would we forever be left with this kind of truth, presented by the world media as the only "truth" that counts.
