More than 100,000 people died as a result of ethnic cleansing programs in Bosnia, while more than 1.5 million were driven from their homes. In Muslim areas, the leaders were selected for extermination so that there was no one left to reorganize the community?the intention being to weaken the racial "stock" of the people; 50,000 girls and women were reportedly raped so that they would not be accepted back into their community, thus also weakening the group.

Why did Serbia want to get rid of Albanians living in Kosova. Isn't that ethnic cleansing?

Few people are aware that the "ethnic cleansing" ? ridding a geographical area of racially "inferior" people-carried out in Bosnia-Herzegovina, and later in Kosovo, was based on the same psychiatric-inspired ideology that led to the Nazi Holocaust.

Psychiatrist Jovan Raskovic masterminded the apparent religious conflict in Bosnia. A frequent guest on political programs on Belgrade television, Raskovic began to give vaguely Hitlerian speeches full of nationalistic and psychoanalytical overtones. He also "used electroshock and sadistic psychotherapeutic methods with particular pleasure in the case of Croats, especially Croation women," stated psychiatrist Boris Zmijanovic.

In 1986, Raskovic co-authored the infamous "Memorandum of the Serbian Academy of Sciences," which advocated the creation of a "Greater Serbia," claiming the Serbs needed to dominate the Croat and Muslim minorities because of their psychological superiority.

Raskovic died in 1992, but not before confessing on national television that he had been responsible for preparing the Serbs for war, and not before the mass extermination of the Croats and Muslims had started. Raskovic claimed that he lit the fire of Serbian nationalism in the name of "heaven, not earth."

Mr. Sowell,
An interesting essay based on an ahistorical book using pseudo-economic theory to support the conservative mantra that tariffs are bad and free trade is good. Historical evidence, the ones we historians use to establish cause and effect, indicates that the depression began as early as 1920 in the South and spread across the country due to a wide variety of factors including the impact of WWI, the decline in demand for American textiles, the fall in the price of cotton, environmental disaster in the midwest resulting in dramatic decreases in crop revenue, massive migrations, and slowing manufacturing as a result of decline in spending and in railroad construction. The Stock Market crash was a symptom of a failing economic system and Hoover''s plans for recovery were disasterous and ill-timed.

A better line of attack for conservatives would be the failure of some of the FDR New Deal programs. Of course, using historical data is not a conservative strong point.

Gee Mr. Sowell, what another useless opinion from you and the National Review. You make a claim, but fail to support it with any facts other than one of proximity. Claiming that the high unemployment rate of the 1930s Depression was the result of government intervention rather than the stock market crash of 1929 because it was closer in temporal proximity is no evidence at all. You have provided no useful facts, just your typical right-wing blather: make a claim, obfuscate with pseudo-facts (&quot;the evidence suggests&quot;), then make the claim again and again and again until it''s picked up by the mainstream media and pablum fed to mainstream America as &quot;analysis&quot;.

We are a country of fools, most of our good paying jobs are gone,in 1929 there where only 50 million people in this country.Most grew their own food and looked foward to a better America.Today there are ovr 300 million people in America,less then 4% grow their own food and when this depression hits hard there is no looking foward for a better life.Now you expect an Middle Eastern African to save us,non_American,Non_Christian.IF YOU WANT TO SEE THE FUTURE OF AMERICAN LOOK AT THE AFRICAN SOCIETY(STARVATION,SICKNESS AND WAR). WE WERE TESTED AND AMERICAN PEOPLE FAILED.NOT RACIST BUT A FACT OF LIFE. THE TRUTH IS DIFFICULT FOR MOST PEOPLE UNTIL IT&quot;S TOO LATE.

This article is typical right-wing misdirection, I wouldn''t have expected anything more from the chowderheads at the NRO. Oh let''s push the fear uncertainty and doubt buttons on Barack Obama, who hasn''t even taken the oath of office yet, based on speculation of what he might do and how that might impact the economy. And he already has a Hoover to &quot;blame for any and all disasters his policies create&quot;: poor Georgie Bush. Let''s just ignore and try to smokescreen away with worthless facts and figures why President Obama even has to contemplate such &quot;risky&quot; measures to begin with-8 years of the worst &quot;leadership&quot; this country has ever seen, 8 years of the rich getting even richer at the expense of everyone else, 8 years of spend-and-spend, greed is good, free markets rule Republican hogwash that has not only not produced a booming economy, it has instead devastated both the public and the private sectors. No, better not to reflect, easier to be critical of events that haven''t even happened yet. What a bunch of morons.

You''''re trying to blame the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act for the Great Depression? Forgive me for stating the obvious, but that''''s absolutely positively ridiculous!!

Most conservative economic thought is, but that doesn''t stop them from running around trying to push their snake oil.
