Since the big NATO celebration going on in Washington is dazzling all the TV channels, we expected here in Belgrade the bridges to be hit, to finish it off, in one big dazzling operation and to start all anew: the new NATO era. I watched the military waltz, the flags, the uniforms, the audience, the speeches... It was as surreal as our reality here, that of political idiots under bombs. It is not stern and grave as commentators claim the world that NATO is protecting has become, it is funny, surreal, and dangerous. Hostages of both sides, and of bad weather, we stay in homes and watch life of the Others on TV, the screen coming and going, depends on which side is militarily stronger at that point. Belgrade wasn't hit last night, but the alarm was still on: I had a nice sleep. My friend from Rakovica ( a severely damaged art of Belgrade)phoned me last night: she is in a nervous breakdown, the window in her bedroom fell on her while sleeping, she is afraid of radioactivity , she wants to have children, to go abroad, but actually her only possibility is to go to a video club and watch films while the bombs are falling around her bedroom. I think I will stop writing for a while, my life besides repeating itself has become that of TV programs. PS I just heard that the people in TV of Belgrade were warned by NATO of air strikes but that their orders and decision was to stay. I guess not all. I don't believe in orders , I don't believe in heroism, I always see something else, ugly behind it and it inevitably happens, especially to those who believe in heroism and orders.
