Dear Editor:
Re: “James Baker Named to Restructure Iraq’s Debt” (Dec 6)
This is the same person who as Secretary of State under Bush Sr. went to
Yugoslavia to give Milosevic the green light to attack Croatia and
Slovenia in order to keep the two republics from peacefully seceding from
communist Yugoslavia. While the rest of Eastern Europe was throwing off
the shackles of communism in 1989, Croatia and Slovenia, even while
having the right by the Yugoslav constitution of 1974 to secede, where
not “allowed” to do so by the greatest democracy in the world – the
United States. The first Bush Administration and James Baker carry much
responsibility for the four years of slaughter that followed, while never
lifting a finger to stop it at the start.
God help the Iraqis with these kind of people in charge!
Sincerely,
Hilda M. Foley
