HUSSEIN IBISH
Foreign policy analyst at the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, Ibish said: “The Clinton administration has made it perfectly clear that it regards ethnic cleansing as a legitimate tool of statecraft. The U.S. backed ethnic cleansing when the Croatians did it to the Serbs [in 1995], Turkey to the Kurds [throughout the 1990s] and Israel to the Palestinians [in 1948]. In fact, what this war is all about is the future of NATO, America’s role in European defense structures in coming decades and continuing the original purpose of NATO: ‘Keeping the Americans in, the Russians out, and the Germans down.’ Germany may be allowed economic dominance, but Europe is to remain dependent on the U.S. militarily.”
