Quotable quotes:

“Most Canadians believe NATO was established to keep us out of war, not to wage war against another sovereign state. Do our political leaders seriously believe NATO credibility is worth killing thousands of Albanians and Serbs? Does NATO credibility depend on its display of destructive fire power in destroying Yugoslavia?”          James Bissett

“The claim that NATO may act in violation of international law with impunity is to sanction the rule of the lynch mob, the rule of the vigilante.”                                                 David Jacobs

“I did not witness, nor did I have knowledge of so-called ‘ethnic cleansing’ and there certainly were no occurrences of ‘genocidal policy.’ NATO has caused the catastrophic Kosovo population displacement to occur.”                                     Rollie Keith

“The unprovoked attack by nineteen industrial countries on little Yugoslavia was blatantly illegal and profoundly immoral. We were essentially bombing an open and helpless population.”
                                                        David Orchard

“The Western media’s relentless demonization of the Serbs of Yugoslavia has produced a very predictable result; a truly genocidal assault on the Serbian people by Western military might, Canada, to its eternal shame, participating.”
                                                    Marjaleena Repo
