  • 14 editorial March 24,1999 ini fin ii I id 11 Guerrilla Warfare Dear Editor: The United States has forced the Serbian government and Albanian separatists to negotiate the independence of Kosovo under the threat of airstrikes on Serbia if there is a failure in negotiations. This may be the first time in history where the airforce of a superpower has been used to support a guerrilla army. At the same time the United States has been supplying helicopter gunships and F 16s to Turkey, which have been used in attacks on Kurdish villages. An estimated three thousand villages have been destroyed, resulting in hundreds of thousands of refugees. Kurdish spokesmen say that U.S. and Israeli intelligence was used in the recent capture of Abdullah Ocalan, the leader of their guerrilla army, th~ PKK. The U.S. media has given extensive coverage to massacres and refugees in Kosovo and almost no coverage to the much worse problem of massacres and refugees in the southeast of Turkey. Why is the United States supporting one guerrilla army and attempting to defeat another guerrilla army? Why are the Kurds terrorists and the Albanian separatists freedom fighters? Why is an independent Kosovo good and an independent Kurdistan bad? Why is the U.S. media outraged over massacres in Kosovo and totally ignore the slaughter of Kurds? There are logical answers. After the Soviet Union and the rest of eastern Europe went capitalist, the breakup of Yu- goslavia( the last socialist state in Europe) was very important to U.S. policy makers. This explains support for the Albanian guerrillas, but in no way excuses the massacres committed by Serbs in both Bosnia and Kosovo. Turkey has long been an important anticommunist ally of the United States. It is located on the border of the former Soviet Union and has U.S. military bases. The Kurdish guerrilla army, the PKK, is a leftist organization, and history has shown how the United States reacts to the threat of socialism anywhere in the world. Behind all the fine rhetoric about freedom, democracy, human rights, etc., the prime motivating factor of U.S. foreign policy has always been the preservation of capitalism and the opening up of foreign markets to U.S. capital investment. Notice how warm and fuzzy relations with China became once the Chinese government let American corporations exploit the extremely cheap labor in China. Sincerely, Gary Sudborough 13824 Fidler Ave. Bellflower, Ca. 90706 562 925-4628 The Adelaide Louise Brewer Scholarship Fund Established in 1988 by Mr. and Mrs. Dudley F.
