<bla, bla> dotični autor je ipak po mom mišljenju morao biti malo taktičniji jer svjetlo u kojem je predstavio nas kao narod mi se nimalo ne sviđa. razlozi zbog kojih je objavio tekst takvog sadržaja nisu mi poznati ali pošto se radi o novinama s vjerojatno ogromnom nakladom možemo zamisliti reakciju prosječnog "tabula rasa" amera nakon pročitanog teksta. ne kažem da se navedena sranja nisu dogodila, znam da jesu, ali to nije razlog da dotični bez određenog konkretnog povoda objavi takvo negativno obojeno štivo. ko zna šta njega muči. možda mu obala nije bila dovoljno lijepa ili su mu poslužili hladnu juhu negdje u restoranu, možda mu je savo kovačević roknio dedu ´45, ko će ga znati. ali ako ti misliš da se ne radi o senzacionalizmu onda smo se frajeru nešto gadno zamjerili.

Kako nisam siguran jesi li stvarno pročitao članak ili ga samo letimice preletio, copy/paste-am neke zanimljivije dijelove koji tebi, iz razloga koje ne kužim, smetaju; početak (uvod) članaka:

The communist habit of deceit and double-speak continues to haunt countries once trapped behind the Iron Curtain. Such is the case in Croatia as it is led by Eastern Europe's most incorrigible and brazen liar, Ivo Sanader.
Few peoples in Eastern Europe suffered under the yoke of Marxism-Leninism as much as Croatians did. For decades, Croatia was a captive nation within Yugoslavia. From 1945 until his death in 1980, communist dictator Josip Broz Tito brutally suppressed dissent. Presented to the world as a utopian multinational federation, Yugoslavia was in fact a Serb-dominated totalitarian empire. The regime's victims included Germans, Slovenes, Albanians, Montenegrins, Macedonians and even royalist Serbs — known as "Chetniks" — who were critical of the Titoist myth of "brotherhood and unity."
Tito's greatest victims, however, were the Croatians. Hundreds of thousands were murdered; countless dissidents were imprisoned; Catholic priests and nuns were slaughtered; basic press freedoms and human rights were abrogated; the economy was collectivized; and Croatia's distinct cultural identity was nearly eradicated. In short, Tito sought not only to subjugate Croatia, but to transform it into a vast social engineering laboratory for his murderous ideological experiment.
Despite its economic failures and genocidal criminality, Titoism sustained itself by relying on two things: a ubiquitous propaganda machine and loyal local communist parties willing — and even eager — to mouth the regime's lies. This led to a public culture of mendacity, in which Zagreb's communists constantly issued statements in direct contradiction to reality.
After the dissolution of Yugoslavia in the 1990s, Croatia won its independence and overthrew the old communist system. The Titoist order disappeared, but its mindset and habits persist — especially in Zagreb's odious practice of denying reality.

Dakle, osim prve dvije rečenice, autor ovdje piše ono što piše u našim knjigama povijesti. Pri tome mislim na udžbenike povijesti u uporabi u RH, jelte. U zadnjoj rečenici ovoga dijela, spomen Zagreba ne nosi sa sobom konotaciju grada, već političkog centra hrvatske. Kao što novinari govore za Washington, Pariz, Rim, London i ostale državne centre političke moći.

The government presents EU membership to ordinary Croatians as a foregone conclusion. This is inaccurate. In fact, Mr. Sanader's government has failed to overhaul Croatia's economy to make it ready to join the EU. In matters of economic and judicial reform, Croatia lags behind other former communist states. Yet instead of confronting this difficult reality, Mr. Sanader denies it — or even worse, lies in order to conceal his government's poor performance.
The European Union's 2006 progress report criticized Mr. Sanader's administration for having "no overall strategic framework" for reform. The report decried Croatia's lack of political transparency and accountability, state meddling in the judiciary and rampant corruption. Mr. Sanader's response was foolish: He simply lied. The prime minister told the Croatian public the EU had "praised" his government for "progress... when it comes to reforms." This prompted the Wall Street Journal to denounce him for "playing spin doctor."

Ovdje autor otvoreno (i opravdano) kritizira (ne)rad sanaderove vlade. Nema spomena o 'genocidnom narodu' ovdje, ma koliko ga ja tražio. Autor nastavlja predstavljajući američkom čitatelju neke (porazne, ali svima nama i poznate) podatke o gospodarstvu u RH:

The political culture of mendacity inherited from the Titoist years is crippling Croatia's ability to become a truly democratic, prosperous modern European state. Facts do not lie, and they reveal Croatia is falling behind. Unemployment is 14 percent. Zagreb is burdened with a massive public debt. Tariffs are a draconian 22 percent on most imports — which hurts Croatian consumers, particularly the poor. Government expenditures consist of 52 percent of the country's gross domestic product. Excessive regulations, a bloated and inefficient bureaucracy and the lack of protections for private property stifle the economy. They discourage much-needed foreign investment, entrepreneurial initiative and wealth creation.

Nije mi jasno - smeta li te ovaj dio? Želiš da se to izbriše/izmjeni? Imaš mindset gori od Sanadera ili (nedajbože) Tita?
