That Omarska pales besides Belsen is not the issue.

That a place like Omarska was ever brought back into existence is.

Perhaps you should respond to my comments rather than setting up your own little strawmen and gleefully knocking them down.

Let me put it to you this way, in real world terms: That places like Omarska were brought into existence, and the Serb response to their misdeeds at places like Omarska, has played a large part in the decisions to:

1. Restore Croatia's Republic borders at the expense of the RSK.
2. Eliminate the RS as an entity in Bosnia.
3. Ensure that the decision as to whether to stay with Serbia or seceed is left in the hands of Kosovo's populace, with the forseeable results.

That's the real world, DTA, and playing your disingenuous little games here on FR ain't going to change a damn bit of it.

Hoplite, the real world is that the fate of Yugoslavia was sealed in the talks between Reagan and Gorbachew in the waters near Malta.

The real world is while James Baker provided overt support to Yugoslavia, tribal chiefs in Yugoslav republics were being given covert message to seccede from Yugoslavia by the end of 1991 or face economic sanctions.

That is the real world. What you are writing is justification after the fact for those who are too lazy or too stupid to check the facts by themselves.

ICTY admitted that Trnopolje hoax was defining moment to form ICTY. You have audacity to call Trnopolje a trick pulled by the Serbs themselves, like Nazi soup kitchens. You further use the fact that obscure LM magazine was the one who exposed the hoax as a proof of it being Serb propaganda.

Why not quote verdict from LM Libel trial? LM was fined for HURTING PENNY MARSCHAL'S FEELINGS, not for printing a lie. It was demonstrated in court that Trnopolje was a hoax.

Yes, the feeling of forgerer are worth $700,000 in the British court (i.e enough to ruin publisher financially), especially when forgerer works for a company whose owners are Carlton Communications, Granada, Daily Mail & General Trust, United Business Media and Reuters each with a 20% shareholding.

How many times Trnoppolje lie was repeated by ITN parent companies?

That's the real world. What you write is International Relations for Dummies.
