But there's tons of evidence since the war that argues that. Serbs didn't wake up one day and decide to go on a killing spree. Yugoslavia was unified, and something separated it. That something wasn't just Milosevic. He reacted to something. As for people being mistreated, that's total BS. They continue to live in each other's regions peacefully to this day. It wasn't for a better life, because that most certainly doesn't happen from taking one fairly strong country and breaking it up into little pieces. Christians don't kill for their religion, not unless defending it. I fear you made your decision long ago, and any info that surfaced from that time on was automatically jargon to you.

My comment wasn't meant to assess the relative guilt of the various groups involved in the war in Bosnia/Serbia/Croatia. I have no preconceived notions about whether or not the events at Srebrenica were justifiable based on previous actions of the victim group -- it's not a subject that I'm knowledgeable about or particularly interested in.

I was only noting that MSM aren't routinely selective in omitting religious affiliations of people who commit violent acts. When there is no evident connection between the religious beliefs and the acts, they often choose to omit the religious affiliation, to avoid the implication that a certain religion's beliefs are responsible. There have been several threads running on FR full of people claiming that MSM articles which omitted the fact that the Utah shooter was a Muslim, are proof that the MSM is selectively biased towards Muslims. This CNN article, which omits the religion from the description of the Christian people who killed thousands of Bosnian Mulsims, is an example.
